Abstract

A vapor solenoid valve is connected so as to lead to a canister. A vapor line connecting port and a purge line connecting port are connected to a vapor line and a purge line, respectively. When switched on and in an open position, the vapor solenoid valve connects a canister connecting port, the vapor line connecting port and the purge connecting port to each other, and thus allows a fuel evaporative gas to flow out of and into a canister or allows air to flow from an air filter. When switched off and in a CLOSED position, the vapor solenoid valve closes the canister connecting port and connects only the vapor line connecting port and the purge line connecting port to each other, and thus inhibits the fuel evaporative gas from flowing out of and into the canister.
