Fuel Evaporation System: Operation

When the fuel tank vapor pressure exceeds a preset limit, the pressure relief valve opens and vapor flows into canister for storage. The pressure relief valve also allows air to enter the tank when vacuum exceeds a preset limit. The purge line restrictor limits maximum purge air flow rate.
