Abstract:
1. A unitized fuel vapor separator and evaporative emission device, comprising: a fuel vapor separator configured for fluid communication with an upstream fuel tank via a liquid fuel line and with a fuel pump and having a fuel vapor outlet to channel fuel vapor outwardly from said fuel vapor separator; an evaporative emissions chamber configured for fluid communication with the fuel tank via a fuel vapor line to receive fuel vapor therefrom and having an adsorption material for adsorbing fuel vapor and dissipating air from the fuel vapor and having an air outlet to channel the air outwardly from said evaporative emissions chamber; wherein the liquid fuel line and the fuel vapor line are separate and out of communication with one another between the fuel tank and the fuel vapor separator and the evaporative emissions chamber; and wherein said fuel vapor separator and said evaporative emissions chamber have a common wall separating said fuel vapor separator from said evaporative emissions chamber as separate containers out of direct fluid communication with one another.
