Systems and methods for limited emissions refueling
Abstract:
A method is presented, comprising, during a first condition, including an active refueling event, receiving an indication of hydrocarbon breakthrough from the fuel vapor canister; and flowing refueling vapors into an intake manifold responsive to the indication of hydrocarbon breakthrough. Flowing refueling vapors into an intake manifold traps the vapors there until engine start-up, when the vapor can be combusted by the engine. In this way, refueling emissions may be reduced, even if the fuel vapor canister is saturated prior to, or during the refueling event.
