ABSTRACT:
An evaporative emission control system provided with a vapor-liquid separation chamber in which a liquefaction accelerating agent is filled for forcibly liquefying and separating the high boiling ingredient contained in evaporative emission and vaporizing the liquid fuel effectively when the evaporative emission is purged, thereby lightening the burden imposed on the adsorbents and preventing the deterioration of the adsorbents so as to make the canister small while keeping the adsorbent properties. It comprises a vapor-liquid separation chamber formed in the canister, a liquefaction accelerating agent which is fibrous or long strip-shaped and filled in the upper portion of the vapor-liquid separation chamber, a fuel storage chamber disposed at the lower portion of the vapor-liquid separation chamber for storing the separated liquid fuel and an adsorbent accommodating chamber which communicates with the vapor-liquid separation chamber.
