1fuel tank vapor valve — A valve mounted in the top of the fuel tank. Vents excess vapor and pressure from the fuel tank into the evaporative emission control system …
2Vapor lock — (also known as vapour lock) is a problem that mostly affects gasoline fueled internal combustion engines. It occurs when the liquid fuel changes state from liquid to gas while still in the fuel delivery system. This disrupts the operation of the… …
3Tank blanketing — Tank blanketing, also referred to as tank padding, is the process of applying a gas to the empty space in a storage container. The term storage container here refers to any container that is used to store products, regardless of its size. Though… …
4Vapor recovery — Vapor (or vapour) recovery is the process of recovering the vapors of gasoline or other fuels, so that they do not escape into the atmosphere. This is often done (or required by law) at filling stations, in order to reduce noxious and potentially …
5vapor recovery system — A system that prevents the escape of gasoline vapors from the fuel system into the atmosphere. The basic system consists of a canister filled with activated charcoal and pipes connecting the canister to the fuel tank and carburetor. Any vapor… …

7vapor withdrawal — A system of piping and connection to operate an engine directly on vapor taken from the top of an LPG tank …
8vapor recovery — An emission control system used by gasoline stations. A special filler nozzle seals the gap between the pump filler nozzle and the car s filler opening, preventing benzene vapors from escaping into the atmosphere; instead, they are recycled into… …
9vapor recycling — An emission control system used by gasoline stations. A special filler nozzle seals the gap between the pump filler nozzle and the car s filler opening, preventing benzene vapors from escaping into the atmosphere; instead, they are recycled into… …
10Onboard refueling vapor recovery — (ORVR) is a vehicle emission control system that captures fuel vapors from the vehicle gas tank during refueling. The gas tank and fill pipe are designed so that when refueling the vehicle, fuel vapors in the gas tank travel to an activated… …
