A hydrocarbon trap that includes a sheet paper element and a plurality of fingers. The paper element is at least partially formed of a material capable of adsorbing and desorbing gaseous hydrocarbons. The paper element is arranged into a plurality of adjacent sheet members. The fingers are disposed between and support adjacent pairs of the sheet members so that each adjacent pair of the sheet members forms a flow channel. A method for filtering gaseous hydrocarbons from an air flow is also provided.

Air induction system with hydrocarbon trap assembly

A connector assembly for conveying fluids, the connector assembly includes a retainer member positioned and locked inside a housing having an axial bore for receiving one end of a male conduit member. A locking arm is flexibly attached to one end of the retainer member to lock the male conduit member into the housing by engaging an annular collar located a given distance from approximal end of said male conduit member thereby providing a fluid tight connection.
