Abstract

A welding joint 10 for a fuel tank reduces the amount of fuel vapor in the fuel tank that escapes into the atmosphere. The fuel tank welding joint 10 a joint main body 20 and a barrier layer laminated on the surface of the joint main body 20. The joint main body 20 is formed of a first resin material weldable to the wall of the fuel tank FT, and the barrier layer 30 is formed of a second resin material that is adhesively and chemically reactive with the first resin material and that is more fuel-impermeable than the first resin material. An end portion 34 formed so as to be exposed to the outside at the end of a tube portion 24 is formed on the barrier layer 30. When the barrier layer 30 is injection molded on the surface of the joint main body 20, the end portion 34 is formed by the flow of the second resin material through the end of the tube portion 24 to increase the adhesive strength of the end face where the parts are joined.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority from Japanese Application No. 2001-56806 filed Mar. 1, 20001, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.[0002] 1. Field of the Invention[0003] The present invention relates to a welding joint for fuel tanks, which is welded to a tank wall of a fuel tank to provide a connecting passage between the interior of the fuel tank and the outside.[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art[0005] A example of a conventional fuel cut-off valve as a fuel tank welding joint is disclosed in JP 2000-8981A. FIG. 13 is a cross sectional view of a fuel cut-off valve 100. In FIG. 13, the fuel cut-off valve 100 comprises a case main body 102 welded to a tank upper wall FTa, a float 112, a spring 114, and a bottom plate 116. A connecting passage 102a is opened and closed by the float 112 according to a level of the fuel in the fuel tank FT. The upper part of the case main body 102 serves as a lid 104, which is welded to the tank top ...
