ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for treating fuel vapor in a vehicle is described. The apparatus collects and treats fuel vaporized in the vehicle's fuel tank. The apparatus has a canister which collects the fuel vapor. The canister accommodates an adsorbent which adsorbs the vaporized fuel and separates the fuel when required. The rear frame of the vehicle includes a left side member, a right side member, a cross member connecting both side members, and a floor pan arranged between each member. The floor pan has a downwardly recessed tire housing. The canister is provided in the space defined between one side member, the cross member, the floor pan, and the tire housing. An exhaust pipe is provided adjacent to the space to effectively heat the canister with exhaust heat.
