A system for testing an evaporative emissions (EVAP) canister of a vehicle according to the present disclosure includes an evaporator configured to contain liquid fuel, a fuel vapor supply line configured to deliver a mixture of fuel vapor and carrier gas from the evaporator to the EVAP canister, and a fuel vapor supply valve disposed in the fuel vapor supply line. The test system further includes a gas density meter configured to measure a density of the fuel vapor mixture flowing through the fuel vapor supply line, and a valve control module configured to control a position of the fuel vapor supply valve to adjust a flow of fuel vapor from the evaporator to the EVAP canister based on the fuel vapor mixture density.

A flow control valve may include a housing including a fluid-flow channel, a valve seat including a valve hole and positioned in the fluid-flow channel, an electric motor disposed in the housing, and a valve body configured to be axially moved toward and away from the valve seat by the electric motor via a feed screw mechanism. The valve body includes a straight projecting portion. The projecting portion is configured to be positioned in the valve hole in an initial valve body lifting range in which a lift distance of the valve body relative to the valve seat is not greater than a predetermined lift distance.

Disclosed is a fuel evaporation gas treatment system for a vehicle, which includes a sub-purge system configured such that a fuel evaporation gas adsorbed in a canister is recovered into a fuel tank, the sub-purge system including a recovery port formed in the canister, a recovery line connected to the recovery port, an ejector provided to receive fuel delivered by a fuel pump, to suck the fuel evaporation gas from the canister through the recovery line and the recovery port upon generation of negative pressure, and to discharge the fuel evaporation gas to the fuel tank, a driving fluid hose connecting the discharge port of the fuel pump to the driving inlet of the ejector to supply the fuel to the ejector, and a recovery control valve for opening and closing a fuel passage so that the fuel is selectively supplied to the ejector.

An evaporative emissions control system includes a first vent valve configured to selectively open and close a first vent, a second vent valve configured to selectively open and close a second vent, a fuel level sensor configured to sense a fuel level in the fuel tank, a pressure sensor configured to sense a pressure in the fuel tank, an accelerometer configured to measure an acceleration of the vehicle, and a controller configured to regulate operation of the first and second vent valves to provide pressure relief for the fuel tank. The controller is programmed to determine if a refueling event is occurring based one signals indicating the fuel level is increasing, the pressure in the fuel tank is increasing, and the vehicle is not moving, and open at least one of the first and second vent valves based on determining the refueling event is occurring.

An evaporated fuel processing device that includes a fuel tank; a vapor passage through which evaporated fuel generated from a fuel in the fuel tank flows; a closing valve configured to open and close the vapor passage; a concentration sensor configured to detect a concentration of the evaporated fuel in the vapor passage downstream of the closing valve; and a controller. When the closing valve moves toward an open side in the closed state, the controller may specify a valve-opening-start position of the closing valve based on a concentration detected by the concentration sensor, wherein the valve-opening-start position is a position where the closing valve transitions from the closed state to the opened state.

Methods and systems for purging fuel vapors from an evaporative emissions system of a vehicle are described. The methods and systems may include opening one or more bypass valves of carbon filled canisters to supply air to a low pressure port of a venturi pump. The bypass valves may be opened when fuel vapors are being moved from a fuel tank to an engine while the engine operates.

A rotary vane pump includes a housing that includes first and second plates respectively secured to first and second opposing sides of an intermediate plate. The intermediate plate includes a bore and inlet and outlet ports. The first and second sides respectively have first and second passages that are respectively in fluid communication with the inlet and outlet ports. The first and second passages are in fluid communication with the bore. The intermediate plate is reversible with respect to the first and second plates. A rotor is arranged in the bore. The rotor supports slidable vanes that are configured to pump fluid between the inlet and outlet ports.

An isolation valve includes: a housing including a first passage and a second passage; a main valve assembly including a valve disposed in the housing such that a fluid flow between the first passage and the second passage is blocked; a locking assembly disposed in the housing, and including a release element configured to open the valve and a locking element configured to close the valve; and a bobbin assembly configured to be disposed in the housing and to operate the locking assembly, and including a coil; a core disposed inside the coil and including a space therein, the space including a closed end and an opened end; and a plunger configured to move in the space by an electromagnetic force generated by the coil and to contact the locking assembly on the opened end side.
