Operation

- While driving
Since the back side of the diaphragm in the pressure control solenoid valve is open to the atmosphere, the diaphragm is held pressed by the atmospheric pressure in the position where only the external air is introduced into the canister. When the evaporation gas pressure acting on the other side of the diaphragm increases and overcomes the atmospheric pressure, it pushes the diaphragm and opens a port through which the evaporation gas makes its way to the canister.





- While refueling
As fuel is filled in to fuel tank, internal pressure is increased. When internal pressure overcomes atmospheric pressure, port of the vent valve is opened, and evaporation gas is introduced into the canister through the vent line. Fuel vapor is absorbed by a charcoal in the canister and purified air is discharged from the drain valve. When a filler gun is inserted, the shut valve closes the evaporation line.
