    Hello, I would like to know how this system works and what it is used for. Opinions on this are divided,
    Some say that this system by removing vapors from the tank eliminates the formation of a vacuum in the tank, but for common sense, if on the one hand fuel vapors are sucked in, and on the other hand, fuel is also conducive to the formation of a vacuum, or there are some additional valves that during the creation of high vacuum in the tank open and bring air?

    Others say that only for ecology, but actually if the system was tight with a vacuum valve (allowing air only then a significant loss of fuel while driving and thus equalizing the pressure) located in the fuel cap, for example, these vapors probably could not get through into the atmosphere and would probably not tear the tank apart ...
    I heard that there are practically hermetic systems, so how is the problem of air supply to the emptying tank solved?
    How was this handled in older vehicles?

    Since '86, a law has been in force that prohibits venting the fuel tank directly into the atmosphere, which is why car manufacturers began to install evap systems. The system consists of a fuel vapor canister containing activated carbon and a valve (electric or pneumatic) through which the vapors are discharged into the intake manifold. The activated carbon tank always has 3 connectors, 1 connects it to the tank, the second connects it to the valve, and the third supplies it with fresh air and ensures that the tank is vented when it is depleted of fuel. The vapor extraction valve shall be so controlled that it is not always open when the engine is idling and, for supercharged engines, when the manifold is overpressure.
    In old cars, the tank was vented through a gravity valve, which was designed to prevent fuel leakage in the event of a rollover, or through a hole in the fuel filler cap.

    I replaced the tank, the fuel filter with activated carbon, I replaced the tank vent valve and after driving about 40 km, error again P0441, what to do? Help
