Evaporative System Monitoring

Evaporative And ORVR Emission Control System

This system consists of below items;

-	Fill vent valve

-	Fuel shut-off valve

-	Fuel cut valve (for roll over)

-	Two way valve (pressure/vacuum relief)

-	Fuel liquid/vapor separator which is installed beside the filler pipe

-	Charcoal canister which is mounted under the rear floor LH side member and protector

-	Tubes and miscellaneous connections

While refueling, ambient air is drawn into the filler pipe so as not to emit fuel vapors in the air. The fuel vapor in the tank is then forced to flow into the canister via the fill vent valve. The fuel liquid/vapor separator isolates liquid fuel and passes the pure vapor to the charcoal canister.

While the engine is operating, the trapped vapor in the canister is drawn into the intake manifold and then into the engine combustion chamber. According to this purge process, the charcoal canister is purged and recovers its absorbing capability.
