What is a fuel vapor recovery system designed to do?

A fuel vapor recovery system is specifically designed to recycle fuel vapors to minimize emissions. This technology captures the vapors that are released when liquid fuel is being filled or used, preventing them from escaping into the atmosphere. By recovering these vapors, the system reduces harmful emissions that can contribute to air pollution and environmental degradation. This aligns with many regulatory requirements aimed at improving air quality and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.

The focus is on maintaining a balance between fuel usage and environmental responsibility. The recovered vapors can often be routed back into the fuel system, allowing for more efficient fuel usage and reduction in wasted fuel. The benefits of such systems thus extend beyond compliance with regulations to include potential cost savings and improved operating efficiency.

While other choices mention storing vapors or increasing tank capacity, those functions do not encapsulate the primary objective of vapor recovery systems, which is focused on emissions reduction through the recycling of those vapors. Additionally, the mention of reducing engine temperature does not relate to the primary function of a vapor recovery system at all.
