Tank Pressure Control Valve
Fuel tank pressure or vacuum is controlled by tank pressure control valve. When fuel tank pressure reaches a specified value, tank pressure control valve opens and allows fuel vapors to enter EVAP canister. When fuel tank pressure becomes negative and reaches a specified value, tank pressure control valve opens and allows outside air to flow into fuel tank.
