Abstract
A fuel vapor storage canister to prevent breakthrough evaporative emission loss and facilitate purging by concentrating the fuel vapor close to the vent to the engine. The canister is divided into two compartments which communicate through a connective means that only allows vapor into the second compartment when a control valve, located in the connective means, opens at a threshold pressure.
