Abstract
A canister for an evaporative emissions control system that comprises a canister package with an interchangeable cartridge. The specific cartridge selected for use in the canister package is determined primarily based upon emissions regulatory requirements of the device that uses the canister. The need for a common canister package with an interchangeable cartridge simplifies packaging and assembly of the canister into any device, whether a vehicle or a stationary device, or a handheld tool. For example, a common canister package reduces need for testing, development and certification associated with use of multiple canister packages on a common vehicle platform.
