Zusammenfassung:	A valve assembly (10) for a tank (12) of a vehicle is disclosed. A valve body (16) is adapted to be attached to the tank (12). A seat (22) is disposed inside the valve body (16) and defines an outlet (28) for venting the tank (12). A float (38) is disposed inside the valve body (16) and is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the valve body (16) in response to a liquid fluid level (40) inside the tank (12). A support (54) is coupled to the float (38) and is movable with the float (38) between the first and second positions. A sealing member (60) is attached to the support (54) and has an engagement portion (64) supported by a base (62) to define a space (66) between the engagement portion (64) and the support (54) to allow movement of the engagement portion (64) between an initial position when in the first position and a displaced position when in the second position. The sealing member (60) includes an outer periphery, and a plurality of extensions spaced from each other and each of the extensions have a portion extending non-tangentially from the outer periphery to respective distal ends.
