he canisters are fixed to the underside of the vehicle either
directly or via semi-enclosed mounting brackets. Two fixing
bolts are used at the front of the canister(or bracket) and a single rear bolt supports the canister and the canister close
valve (CCV).
The vapour pipes to the canisters, other than the CCV, use multi-tang connectors which are push fitted and pulled out
without the use of tools.
The canister close valve has a stub pipe with 'O' ring seal wh ich is a simple push fit into the canister. A mounting bracket on
the canister close valve enables it to be secured to the underbody via the canister rear mounting bolt.
A hose connects the CCV to the bracket mounted adaptor into which the vent system air filter is screwed.

The system has the
following features :
o
n
-board refueling vapour recovery (ORVR) to reduce the fu
el vapour vented directly to atmosphere from the filler
nozzle when refueling.
two ch arcoal
canisters are connected in series to reduce th
e concentration of fuel in vapour vented to atmosphere.
a t
ank pressure sensor and canister close
valve are fitted to allow the on-board di agnostic facility to test for leaks in
the fuel and evaporative system.
The canister close valve is a solenoid operated device controlled by the ECM. The valve is normally open and is closed only
during the leak test sequence.
The fuel pressure sensor is fitted to th e evaporative loss flange and provides a volt age to the ECM which is proportional to
tank vapour pressure.
Op era
tion of ORVR System
The ORVR system enabl
e
s fuel vapour generated during re-fueling to be collected by
the charcoal canisters. During normal
running of the vehicle, the vapour is collected and purged in the same way as for non-ORVR systems.

g Vapour Recovery (ORVR) System

The OR
VR system features are :
N

arrow fuel filler pipe and tank check valve.
Fue

l level vent valve (FLVV) fitted to the evaporative flan
ge and consisting of a two stage shut-off valve with rollover
protection and a pressure relief valve.
Grade ven
t valve with rollover protection, fitted to the ev
aporative flange and with an outlet pipe connected to the
FLVV vapour outlet pipe.
Large bore vapour vent pipes.

The fuel filler pipe has a reduced diameter between the nozzle guide and the tank, providing a liquid seal when re-fueling
and preventing the fuel vapour venting directly to atmosphere. There is no breather tube fitted between the tank and the
filler nozzle. To prevent spit back when re-fueling, a check valv e is fitted at the lower end of the filler pipe inside the tank
(see Figure).
During re-fueling, the tank is vented to atmosphere via the fuel level vent valv e (FLVV), large bore vapour pipes and the
charcoal canisters. The FLVV incorp orates a float valve which is closed by the rising fuel level, creating a back pressure and
causing the fuel delivery to stop. In the closed position, the FLVV also sets the fuel level.
With the FLVV closed (tank full), any increase in pressure or overfilling is relieved by a separate rollover protected grade
vent valve. The outlet from this valve feeds into the main FLVV vapour outlet pipe, bypassing the closed FLVV.
When the fuel level is below full, the FLVV opens to allow unrestricted venting via the canisters.
A pressure relief valve is incorp orated into the FLVV assembly and has an outlet pipe to the filler nozzle,. If a blockage or
other restriction (eg, canister close valve failing in the closed position) occurs in the vapour vent system, the pressure reli ef
valve opens to allow venting to atmosphere via the filler nozzle guide and fuel filler cap.
Canister purge operation is as described in Evaporative Emissions Control.
Filler Tube and Check Valve

The fuel fil
ler cap is the same as
that used on non-ORVR systems.
The check valve assembly is a push fit into the end of the fuel filler tube and is accessible with the evaporative flange
removed. The valve has a light spring load ing and opens under the inflow of fuel.
ORVR Evaporative Loss Flange Assembly

The evaporative loss flange assembly is fitted to the top of the tank via a seal and locking ring arrangement identical to that
used for non-ORVR systems. The assembly is re moveable complete with the fitted components.
The fuel level vent valve (FLVV) is mounted in the ELF assembly via a bayonet fitting : it is turned approximately 90 °
clockwise to release. The grade vent valve and pressure sensor are push in fits via sealing gromme ts : note that, due to the
tight fit, removal of these components may require cutting the grommets. The fuel pump connector is push fitted and
crimped into a location tube on the underside of the flange.
