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?
