A valve operable between a valve close position and a valve open position for a gaseous fuel system includes a housing having a fuel inlet port, a fuel outlet port and a chamber disposed between the fuel inlet port and the fuel outlet port A valve seat is disposed adjacent the fuel outlet port and includes an aperture. The valve further includes a magnetic coil and an armature magnetically coupled to the magnetic coil and disposed with in the housing. The armature is movable in response to the magnetic coil. A piston is coupled to the armature and is movable within the chamber away from the seat when the magnetic coil is actuated in the valve open position. Fuel flows from the inlet port through the chamber to the outlet port. The piston engages the seat when the magnetic coil is deactuated in the valve close position to prevent fuel from flowing from the inlet port to the outlet port. The piston includes a projection or radius for closing the valve seat aperture.

1. A valve operable between a valve closed position and a valve opened position for a gaseous fuel system comprising:a housing having a gaseous fuel inlet port, a gaseous fuel outlet port and a chamber disposed between said gaseous inlet port and said gaseous fuel outlet port; a valve seat disposed adjacent said gaseous fuel outlet port and including a convex radius surface surrounding said gaseous fuel outlet port; a magnetic coil; an armature magnetically coupled to said magnetic coil and disposed within said housing and being movably responsive to said magnetic coil; said armature having an actuator pin; a piston engaging said actuator pin of said armature and being movable within said chamber away from said seat when said magnetic coil is actuated in the valve open position, such that gaseous fuel flows from said gaseous fuel inlet port through said chamber to said gaseous fuel outlet port and said piston engaging said seat when said magnetic coil is deactuated in the valve closed position to prevent gaseous fuel flowing from said inlet port to said gaseous fuel outlet port; and said piston including a radius surface for engaging said radius surface of said valve seat for closing said gaseous fuel outlet port and said piston having an aperture therethrough with said aperture extending through said radius surface of said piston. 2. The valve of claim 1 wherein said housing includes:an upper portion including said gaseous fuel inlet port and said chamber; and a lower portion including said gaseous outlet port and said valve seat. 3. The valve of claim 2 and further including an O-ring disposed between said housing upper portion and said housing lower portion.4. The valve of claim 2 wherein said housing upper portion includes a recess and said housing lower portion includes a step received within said housing upper portion recess.5. The valve of claim 1 wherein said piston's radius surface being convex.6. The valve of claim 1 wherein said chamber includes an angled surface adjacent said valve seat.7. The valve of claim 1 wherein said piston includes an O-ring.
