Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for regulating the flow of fuel vapor in an evaporative emissions system. In one example, a method may include re-routing fuel tank vapors responsive to an indication of a leaky canister purge valve such that fuel tank vapors may be efficiently adsorbed by a fuel vapor canister during engine-off conditions, rather than bypassing the fuel vapor canister and being released to the atmosphere. In this way, evaporative emissions may be prevented during the duration of time following an indication of a leaky canister purge valve and servicing the vehicle.
