Zusammenfassung:A fuel tank has a valve assembly that reduces noise emanating therefrom. The fuel tank comprises a first fuel reservoir, a second fuel reservoir, a fuel pick-up assembly disposed within the first fuel reservoir, a fuel inlet in the fuel pick-up assembly, a fuel pump assembly disposed in the second fuel reservoir and fluidly connected to the fuel pick-up assembly and a low shut-off valve associated with the fuel inlet of the fuel pick-up assembly and configured to close when fuel in the first reservoir drops below the level of the low shut-off valve, eliminating noise generated by a lack of fuel entering the fuel pick-up assembly.
