On Cadillac XTS , the stopper is replaced by a system with two valves that open when the fuel nozzle is introduced. This double seal with two rubber gaskets isolates the tank from the atmosphere. Moreover, unlike the car tech competitors, the Cadillac system has no internal drainage pipe which could also release the fuel.
