The LPG refuelling valve is a component of the gas system that allows the LPG tank in the car to be filled. It is integrated into the tank and located on the outside of the vehicle, usually in the bumper or wing.
Functions of the LPG refuelling valve
Enabling refuelling: The refuelling valve provides a connection between the dispenser gun and the LPG tank, enabling the tank to be filled with gas.
Tank sealing: The refuelling valve ensures a tight connection between the tank and the dispenser gun, preventing gas leakage.
Installation protection: The refuelling valve can be equipped with safety features, such as a safety valve to prevent over-filling of the tank.
Types of LPG refuelling valves
There are several types of LPG refuelling valve, differing in the method of installation and the type of connection:
LPG flip-flop refuelling valve - an LPG valve that mounts next to a traditional flip-flop fuel filler, provided there is still room;
Bumper-mounted LPG refuelling valve - an LPG valve mounted in the bumper;
Bumper LPG refuelling valve - LPG valve mounted under the bumper.
Installation of the LPG refuelling valve
The installation of the LPG refuelling valve should be carried out by a qualified gas fitter. The assembly includes:
Selection of a suitable valve: The valve must be matched to the type of LPG system and tank.
Fixing the valve to the tank: The valve is attached to the LPG tank using screws or other fasteners.
Connection of the valve to the gas system: The valve is connected to the gas installation by means of gas pipes.
