Methods and systems are provided for a fuel system. In one example, a method includes flowing fuel tank vapors to a catalyst during a fuel tank depressurization in response to a refueling request. The method further includes executing an engine vapor flush following a refueling event being completed.

Fill limit venting valve with high shut-off height

A fill limit vent valve for a fuel system includes a housing assembly, an outlet port and a flow dam. The housing assembly has a main housing including a cylindrical body and an upper housing portion. The upper housing portion has a lower wall that defines an orifice and an outer cylindrical wall that defines an upper housing chamber. The outlet port is formed on the main housing and fluidly communicates fuel vapor out of the fill limit valve. The orifice is offset from a centerpoint of the lower wall in a direction away from the outlet port. The flow dam extends from the lower wall into the upper housing chamber and connects on opposite ends to the outer cylindrical wall. The flow dam and upper housing chamber cooperating to form a liquid trap that mitigates the possibility of liquid fuel from reaching the outlet port from the orifice.

Canister

A canister that adsorbs and desorbs an evaporated fuel generated in a fuel tank of a vehicle includes an outer case, an inner case, a connecting port, and a sealing member. The inner case has a cylindrical shape. The inner case is fitted into the outer case. The inner case is filled therein with an adsorbent in a granular form. The inner case includes a first end and a second end. The connecting port connects an inside and an outside of the outer case to each other. The sealing member is provided to the second end of the inner case located opposite to the first end leading to the connecting port. The sealing member seals a gap between the outer case and a joining portion of the inner case. The joining portion joins the inner case to the outer case.

Sorbent devices

Sorbent material sheets are wound around a center core of material that includes additional sorbent. This configuration further increases the packaging efficiency and performance of the sorbent material sheets as part of an overall housing or apparatus. In some embodiments, the sorbent material sheets are arranged in a stacked configuration. Configurations of the sorbent material sheets as part of a canister are also described.

A particulate filtration device is suggested, comprising an inlet for an inflow of a gas stream which is particle-laden, an outlet for an outflow of the gas stream having a significantly reduced particulate load, a main filter section, which is arranged within a flow path of the gas stream between the inlet and the outlet and which comprises a filtration medium, and a prefilter chamber, which is arranged upstream of the main filter section and which comprises an inertial filter element, having several perforations, wherein the perforations of the inertial filter element are arranged within the flow path of the gas stream in such a way that when the flow path of the gas stream is passing through the perforations, an inertial separation of the particulates from the mean flow path of the gas stream is achieved.

Electrically controlled fuel system module

A fuel tank system constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a fuel tank and an evaporative emissions control system. The evaporative emissions control system is configured to recapture and recycle emitted fuel vapor. The evaporative emissions control system includes a liquid trap, a first device, a second device, a control module and a G-sensor. The first device is configured to selectively open and close a first vent. The second device is configured to selectively open and close a second vent. The control module regulates operation of the first and second devices to provide over-pressure and vacuum relief for the fuel tank. The G-sensor provides a signal to the control module based on a measured acceleration.
