An air distribution plenum for controlling air flow in a vehicle HVAC system includes an air inlet and first and second air outlets. A movable member substantially blocks the first and second air outlets when in a first position, blocks only the first air outlet in a second position, blocks only the second air outlet in a third position, and permits air to flow through both the first and second air outlets when in a fourth position.

Apparatus and method for controlling the distribution of air in an HVAC system

Methods and systems are provided for a vapor canister couple to a fuel tank of a vehicle. A series of fluidically coupled, variable capacity bleed elements, externally coupled to a sidewall of the vapor canister, capture the bleed emissions resulting from desorption of fuel vapors from an adsorbent material inside the vapor canister. The series of bleed elements may be fluidically coupled through flow paths passing through the vapor canister wall, connecting through a first flow path to a chamber inside the vapor canister and connecting through a second flow path to a vent port of the vapor canister.

Variable capacity, configurable hydrocarbon emissions trap

A capless fuel filling system for a vehicle including a closure assembly that forms an iris arrangement that is rotatable to form a seal for a fuel filling tube or provide access to the fuel filling tube.
