Performance
Application
The 2989-11 high-flow vent is intended to provide tank breathing, prevent fuel spillage, relieve excess
pressure, and provide thermal venting in vehicle fuel tanks for which this valve is appropriate. It is
specifically designed to work with new engines that generate a high volume of vapor returning to the
tank, and to maximize the probability that the vent will re-open even after closure by fuel slosh and
pressurization by returning vapor.
Limitations
This tank vent valve is designed for use on diesel fuel aluminum tanks up to 200 gallon total capacity
and diesel fuel steel tanks up to 132 gallon capacity.
Air Venting
Designed to vent air at 70 SCFH with a tank pressure not more than 18 inches in H2O. Will vent in excess
of 100 SCFH air without corking (closing).
Unseating
Once closed and upright, in the absence of fuel, vent will partially unseat (re-open) at a descending
pressure at or above 40 inches H2O.
Anti-Spill
Vent will not leak in excess of 0.5 ounces per minute of diesel with the vent in any orientation and diesel
applied at any pressure up to 4 PSIG.
Thermal Relief
At 255°F, vent will thermally activate and open a 0.56 Diameter hole to atmosphere when exposed to
an enveloping flame in accordance with FHWA Title 49, CFR Part 393 Section 67 (d)(1) that causes a fuel
temperature to rise at a rate of at least 6° F per minute.
Pressure Relief
Pressure relief feature will start to flow with diesel applied to between 4 and 8 PSIG, and will flow 1.0
GPM or more of diesel with 10 PSIG.
Barb Alignment
Barb may be aligned after installation by rotating without disturbing thread alignment.
