ABSTRACT:
An evaporative emissions canister includes a housing containing a hydrocarbon adsorbing material, such as carbon. The canister may be configured to such that a portion acts as a buffer canister of such that the entire canister is used to adsorb hydrocarbon emissions. The canister housing is generally cylindrical with a reduced cross-sectional area portion and is configured in a manner to allow flow along a relatively straight line; with both features acting to increase purge efficiency and reduce restriction, respectively.
