ABSTRACT:
A system according to the invention controls the vaporized amount of a blended fuel composed of gasoline and an alcohol such as methanol and contained in a fuel tank mounted at a vehicular internal combustion engine. The methanol concentration in the fuel is sensed and from the sensed value, reid vapor pressure of the fuel is presumed. The pressure in the fuel tank is then regulated at a target pressure by adjusting the amount of vaporized fuel to be removed from the fuel tank and fed to a canister in response to the presumed reid vapor pressure.
