Evaporative Check Valve: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

The fuel tank cap is sealed by a gasket to prevent vapor escape from the fuel filler.

OPERATION

The fuel tank cap contains a check valve. When pressure inside the tank is high the check valve is closed, forcing fuel vapors into the charcoal
canister. When vacuum inside the fuel tank is high the check valve opens allowing atmospheric air to equalize pressures.
