Evaporative Emissions System Outline: Overview

Evaporative Emission System Outline

Overview

The EVAP system prevents fuel vapor build-up in the sealed fuel tank. Fuel vapors trapped in the sealed tank are vented through the vapor valve assembly on top of the tank. The vapors leave the valve assembly through a single vapor line and continue to the EVAP canister for storage until the vapors are purged to the engine for burning.

All applications required to meet on-board diagnostics (OBD) regulations use the enhanced EVAP system. Some applications also incorporate an on-board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) system.
