Evaporative Emissions System: Operation

Fuel vapors trapped in the sealed fuel tank are vented through the orifice vapor separator assembly in the top of the tank. Vapors then leave the separator through a single vapor line and continue to the carbon canister (in the engine compartment) where they are absorbed by the carbon granules until such time as they are purged from the canister by carburetor vacuum.
