Abstract
A fuel refill system shutoff valve is provided for a fluid delivery system which provides internal pilot lines for use with a jet fluid level sensor. The shutoff valve is closed unless there is a positive signal from the return pilot line, so the shutoff valve fails in the closed position and avoids the situation where a failure leads to over-filling of the tank. An internal piston opens and closes peripheral fluid outlets based on the presence and/or absence of back pressure provided by the return signal of a fluid level sensor located inside the fuel tank of a vehicle.

Abstract
A fuel level sensor for a fast refill fuel system is presented having a T shaped valve for positive and negative pressure relief, and a non-spill valve that is overcome when there is a risk of over-pressurization. The level sensor is configured with first and second pilot lines located fully inside the fuel tank to avoid externally pilot lines. The jet level sensor is adjustable to set a height of the sensor corresponding to a selected fuel level.

An ignition circuit and a method of operating an igniter (preferably a traveling spark igniter) in an internal combustion engine, including a high pressure engine. A high voltage is applied to electrodes of the igniter, sufficient to cause breakdown to occur between the electrodes, resulting in a high current electrical discharge in the igniter, over a surface of an isolator between the electrodes, and formation of a plasma kernel in a fuel-air mixture adjacent said surface. Following breakdown, a sequence of one or more lower voltage and lower current pulses is applied to said electrodes, with a low “simmer” current being sustained through the plasma between pulses, preventing total plasma recombination and allowing the plasma kernel to move toward a free end of the electrodes with each pulse.

An ignition circuit and a method of operating an igniter (preferably a traveling spark igniter) in an internal combustion engine, including a high pressure engine. A high voltage is applied to electrodes of the igniter, sufficient to cause breakdown to occur between the electrodes, resulting in a high current electrical discharge in the igniter, over a surface of an isolator between the electrodes, and formation of a plasma kernel in a fuel-air mixture adjacent said surface. Following breakdown, a sequence of one or more lower voltage and lower current pulses is applied to said electrodes, with a low “simmer” current being sustained through the plasma between pulses, preventing total plasma recombination and allowing the plasma kernel to move toward a free end of the electrodes with each pulse.
