A fuel intake assembly includes a housing, a nozzle inlet door, a nozzle outlet door, and an outlet door-engaging link. The housing defines an internal chamber. A nozzle passage channel extends through the internal chamber. The nozzle inlet and outlet doors are moveably secured within the housing and are both configured to move between open and closed positions. The outlet door-engaging link may be moveably secured to the nozzle inlet door. Movement of the nozzle inlet door toward the open position causes the outlet door-engaging link to engage the nozzle outlet door so that a fluid passage is formed between at least a portion of the nozzle outlet door and an internal surface of the housing.
