ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a vapor pressure control system which include a canister containing activated carbon therein, a tank pressure sensor connected to a fuel tank to sense internal vapor pressure of the fuel tank, a control valve mounted in a path from the fuel tank to the canister to control the internal vapor pressure of the fuel tank, and a cut valve mounted below a filler cap to lead the vapor flowing backward from the fuel tank to the canister, so that vehicles can have vapor stability and reduce air pollution.
