Abstract
An evaporative emission control system (EVAP) canister including a housing, where the housing has a first bed volume, a second bed volume, a load port, and a purge control receptacle. The first bed volume includes a first opening and a second opening opposite the first opening. The second bed volume includes a third opening and a fourth opening opposite the third opening. The load port enables fuel vapor from a fuel tank to enter the first bed volume. The purge control receptacle is on a side of the first bed volume and is configured to receive a first purge control insert. The first purge control insert is configured to ensure that unfiltered fuel vapor condensate drawn in during a purge cycle is passed through a first portion of a fuel vapor filtering medium in the first bed volume.
