ABSTRACT:
A self-cleaning air filter for a vehicle fuel vapor recovery system includes a filter cleaning member disposed within the filter housing to clean the filter element. The filter cleaning member collides with the filter element in response to acceleration imparted to the housing by the vehicle to cause matter occluding the filter element to dislodge therefrom.
