Duckbill Combination Valve in Small Engine Fuel Tank Cap

Client Story: Australian Automotive Product Specialist

One of our clients, an automotive parts supplier in Australia, faced repeated issues with tank venting. Standard caps often leaked under pressure or failed to let in enough air, leading to vapor lock. Mechanics reported customer complaints about hard starts and stalling during hot weather.

By integrating our Silikonowy zawór zwrotny typu kaczy dziób with an umbrella valve, they solved both problems. The duckbill allowed controlled one-way air entry while the umbrella vented excess vapor safely. Because our zawór silikonowy retains shape after years of pressing, the cap stayed tight and reliable without costly replacements.

A silicone Duckbill Valve combined with an umbrella valve inside a small engine fuel tank cap solves a critical problem. Engines demand consistent fuel delivery, yet pressure changes in the tank can cause vapor buildup, leaks, or poor performance. This specialized valve design lets air enter the tank at low pressure as fuel is consumed while also venting vapor at higher pressure when the tank warms. The result is smooth operation, safe venting, and longer engine life.

What We Do: Reliable Silicone Valves for Automotive Applications

We design and produce:

  • Duckbill Valve systems for controlled airflow

  • Silikonowy zawór jednokierunkowy inserts for venting safety

  • Zawory krzyżowe for custom fuel applications

  • Silikonowy zawór zwrotny designs for durability under harsh conditions

Each valve meets strict automotive-grade requirements and is tested for fuel resistance, temperature endurance, and long-term resilience.

How the Umbrella/Duckbill Combination Valve Works in a Fuel Cap

  • Umbrella Valve Function: Opens when tank pressure rises, allowing vapor to escape.

  • Duckbill Valve Function: Opens only when negative pressure develops, letting air enter without fuel escaping.

  • Combination Effect: Together they stabilize pressure, extend engine life, and protect seals from wear.
