What is an important feature of a fuel vapor recovery system?

A fuel vapor recovery system is specifically designed to capture fuel vapors that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere during the refueling process and from the fuel system of vehicles. By collecting these vapors, the system plays a critical role in reducing air pollution and harmful emissions associated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This reduction in emissions is essential for meeting environmental regulations and standards aimed at improving air quality.

While increasing fuel pressure, enhancing engine cooling, and improving fuel delivery are important aspects of fuel management and engine performance, they are not primary functions of a vapor recovery system. Instead, the system’s main purpose is to mitigate environmental impacts, making the reduction of emissions the key feature that distinguishes it.
