A fuel tank vent shutoff valve is provided with a leak countermeasure for preventing liquid fuel leaking from the vent shutoff valve into an evaporative emissions canister. In one embodiment, the vent shutoff valve includes a case disposed over a valve body. The case includes a floor surface surrounding an opening and a cover disposed over the case. The case also includes a flange structure extending away from the floor surface towards an inside surface of the cover. The inside surface includes an annular wall aligned over the opening and extending towards the floor surface of the case. The annular wall includes a first section having a first height that is greater than a second height of a second section. A free end of the first section extends past a free end of the flange structure of the case to prevent fuel from leaking into the evaporative emissions canister.
