Abstract
An internal combustion engine with a fuel-vapor reduction arrangement, including a combustion chamber, an induction system for introducing an air-fuel charge to the combustion chamber, a fuel charge-forming system for supplying a fuel charge to said combustion chamber, an exhaust system for releasing combustion exhaust from the combustion chamber to the atmosphere, and a fuel-supply system for supplying fuel to the fuel charge-forming system. The fuel-supply system including a fuel-vapor separator and a fuel-vapor conduit connecting the fuel-vapor separator to a point of the engine so that fuel vapors are not directly released to the atmosphere and do not interfere with the air-fuel ratio in the engine.
