A fuel tank isolation valve is provided having a main valve body including a fuel tank port and a canister port, a main bore, and an actuator selectively operable to allow or inhibit vented fuel vapors to move from the first port to the second port along a first path. The body can define an airflow bypass orifice that allows vapors to move from the first port, through the main bore, to the second port along a second path, while the actuator is in the closed mode inhibiting vapors from moving along the first path. This flow through the orifice can equalize pressure in a fuel tank and the canister during a purging operation on the canister. The valve can include a fitting that directly couples the valve to the canister without any intermediate hoses, in a cantilevered manner. A related method of use is provided.

An evaporative emissions canister is provided. The evaporative emissions canister includes a body defining an internal volume therein for receiving one or more volumes of adsorbent. The canister body includes a port for receiving an accessory component. The port is in fluid communication with the internal volume. A sleeve seal is disposed in the port. A mounting bracket extends outwardly from the canister body. The canister body supports the accessory component, and the accessory component is secured to the canister body, thereby eliminating a hose and connector fittings between the canister body and the accessory component. A fuel system assembly including the evaporative emissions canister is also provided. A method of connecting an accessory component to an evaporative emissions canister is further provided.

A boat dock bumper assembly configured for mounting on a boat dock and protecting a boat against damage from impacts with a side surface and a lower surface of the dock. The bumper assembly includes a clamp frame, an upper jaw, and a bumper. The upper jaw is movably coupled to the clamp frame for clamping a boat dock between the upper jaw and a lower jaw of the clamp frame. The bumper is joined to the clamp frame and has an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper and lower portions of the bumper may be integral or separable. The bumper is configured to absorb impacts from collisions between the boat and the dock. A method of protecting a boat against damage from impacts with a side surface and a lower surface of a boat dock using the bumper assembly.
