HYDROCARBON ADSORPTION METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS FROM THE FUEL STORAGE SYSTEM OF MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

The present invention is directed to an evaporative emissions control apparatus (2) for minimizing fuel vapor emissions from a fuel storage system in a vehicle with an internal combustion engine (4). More specifically, the present invention is directed to an evaporative emissions control apparatus comprising a canister (16) filled with a hydrocarbon adsorbent. The present invention is also directed an evaporative emissions control apparatus comprising a support substrate (40), which is coated with a hydrocarbon adsorbent slurry.
