Abstract
To securely retain a valve flap (10) against an opening (8) in a fill end stub for liquid fuel, typically unleaded gasoline, a pivotable engagement finger (15, 35) is engageable with the flap and held against the opening by an operating system (18, 28, 38) operable by the vehicle operator, for selective engagement of the finger (15, 35) against the underside of the flap (10) to selectively press the flap against the opening and close the opening, or to permit pivoting of the flap away from the opening if an appropriate gasoline fill-in nozzle is pressed against the flap.
