Abstract
A device for processing fuel vapor including a canister and a separating mechanism. The canister houses an absorbent such as charcoal for absorbing vapor components of the fuel vapor. The separating mechanism separates the fuel vapor into liquid components and vapor components. The separating mechanism has a separating chamber holding the liquid component, a lead tube for leading the fuel vapor from a fuel tank to the separating chamber, an outlet tube through which the vapor component in the canister flows into the separating chamber, and an inlet tube through which the vapor component in the separating chamber flows into the canister. The end opening of the lead tube is located close to the bottom of the separating chamber, and the end openings of the inlet and outlet tubes are located close to the ceiling of the separating chamber and above the surface of the liquid component in the separating chamber.
