The US legislature requires that:

^ Refueling vapors in the vehicle must be recovered (ORVR = On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery)
^ Fuel and refueling vapor must be separated in such a manner that no fuel is able to enter the activated charcoal canister, even if refueling is not done correctly or if the nozzle is defective.

Owing to its form, the fuel filler neck (45) functions as a suction jet pump. The fuel from the nozzle accelerates in the filler neck and thus air around the nozzle is suctioned.
As a result of this air intake. the refueling vapor are not able to gather at the filler neck and are able to escape.
The refueling vapor is stored in the activated charcoal canister (77) and are suctioned off and burnt by the engine when purging together with the fuel vapor from the fuel evaporation control system is released.

Models 211, 219
The refueling gases flow through the aeration line (91/2) to the expansion reservoir (93). They then flow through the safety valve (93/1) via the aeration line (a) from the expansion reservoir to the activated charcoal canister.

Except models 211, 219
The refueling gases flow through the safety valves (75/1) via the aeration line (a) to the activated charcoal canister.
If the fuel reaches the two high safety valves, the valves close the vent line to the activated charcoal canister. As a result, fuel is not able to enter the activated charcoal canister. The safety walls can also close briefly on powerful braking / accelerating or while cornering.
If the fuel tank is full, the float (45/2) with flap shuts off the fuel filler neck at the bottom. This ensures that the refueling nozzle shuts off more rapidly and overfilling is largely prevented.

The activated charcoal canister has a larger volume for ORVR (ca. 2.7 to 3.5 l).
