ABSTRACT:
Both puff losses and fuel fill vapor losses are recovered by a venting arrangement that includes a vapor storage canister connected fitting opening through the upper end of a filler pipe valve, a valve downstream from the fitting, and a seal upstream from the fitting. A cap extension holds the valve closed, and also wipingly engages the seal. When the cap is removed, the valve is opened, but the seal stays engaged until the cap is fully removed and the extension fully withdrawn, so that puff loss vapors are directed out through the fitting to the storage canister. When the fuel nozzle is inserted, it wipingly engages the same seal, so that fuel fill vapors are similarly recovered.
