ABSTRACT:
Air is purged through a fuel vapor recovery system to induct a mixture of purged air and fuel vapor from the fuel vapor recovery system into an engine air/fuel intake. An air/fuel vapor ratio of the inducted mixture is provided from a hydrocarbon sensor positioned in the engine air/fuel intake. Fuel vapor flow is then calculated and this calculation used to adjust fuel delivered to the engine to maintain a desired lean air/fuel ratio.
