Onboard refueling vapor recovery
Onboard refueling vapor recovery is a process used to collect gasoline vapor that escapes from the gas tank of a vehicle while it is being refueled at a gas station. Gasoline vapor is harmful to the environment and can cause air pollution when it is released into the air.
To prevent this from happening, some vehicles are equipped with a device called an onboard refueling vapor recovery system (ORVR). This system captures the gasoline vapors that are emitted when a vehicle is being refueled and then redirects them back into the gas tank for storage.
The system works by using a special pump and a hose that are connected to the gas tank. When the vehicle is being refueled, the pump and the hose suck the gasoline vapor out of the gas tank and into a special canister. The canister then filters the vapor and collects it until it can be safely released back into the gas tank.
The ORVR system is an important tool for reducing air pollution and protecting the environment. By capturing gasoline vapor that would otherwise be released into the air during refueling, it helps to reduce the amount of harmful emissions that are produced by vehicles. This makes the air cleaner and healthier for everyone to breathe.
