Evaporative Check Valve: Description and Operation

Two-Way Check Valve:






PURPOSE
The two-way check valve controls pressure between the fuel tank and the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister.

OPERATION
The two-way check valve protects the fuel tank from heat build-up rupture and cool-down collapse by allowing air to pass in or out (depending on pressure) of the tank to equalize pressure.
