Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for including a single pressure sensor in an evaporative emissions system and fuel system. In one example, a method may include venting a fuel tank of the fuel system, which is isolated from the evaporative emissions system by a fuel tank isolation valve (FTIV), in response to a depressurization condition determined based on a differential pressure measured by a delta pressure sensor coupled across the FTIV. The venting may include pulsing the FTIV open and closed and may further include adjusting the pulsing responsive to the differential pressure measured while the FTIV is closed and independent of the differential pressure measured while the FTIV is open.
