When fuel is pumped out of the tank, a vacuum is

initially created in the tank. This causes the
diaphragm to lift off the valve plate and open the
valve. Air flows into the fuel tank. The pressures on

both sides of the diaphragm are equalized in this
process.
The valve closes when both pressures are equal.
