Claim Text:
1. A fluid coupling assembly comprising: a first coupling member having a first magnetic member and a first engagement portion, the first engagement portion comprising a single valve member, wherein the single valve member abuts a ball member that abuts a resilient member; and a second coupling member magnetically engageable with the first coupling member, the second coupling member comprising a second magnetic member and a second engagement portion comprising a single outwardly projecting activation member configured to physically contact and move the single valve member from a sealed position to an unsealed position, wherein the single outwardly projecting activation member is the only activation member of the fluid coupling assembly and the single outwardly projecting activation member projects outwardly from and is an integral part of a surface of a recess portion of the second coupling member, wherein the single outwardly projecting activation member terminates within the recess portion of the second coupling member, wherein the recess portion of the second coupling member is an integral part of the second coupling member; wherein aligned magnetic engagement of the first coupling member and the second coupling member is in response to the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member mating only along a single plane and the magnetic engagement unseals a fluid flow path traversing a portion of each coupling member; and wherein the magnetic engagement comprises a magnetic force configured such that the first coupling member and the second coupling member disengage when a predetermined internal pressure of the fuel reservoir is reached.
