Level limit valve

The invention concerns a level limit valve for the fuel tank of a vehicle. Such valves serve the purpose, that upon the filling of the fuel tank, the filled quantity of the fuel is limited. The proposed level limit valve possesses a valve body which can be positioned within the fuel tank at the end of a filling pipe. The valve body is equipped with an intake port which is connectable with the said filling pipe and an outlet port emptying into the interior of the fuel tank. Further, in the valve body is found a flap , which is pivotally movable between a position tightly sealing the outlet port and a position wherein this is opened. The float is movably connected to said flap by means of a lever rod . The lever rod penetrates the outlet port at least in the opened position of the flap and is connected by means of linkage with that outer side of the flap which is proximal to the outlet port
