Abstract
Systems and methods are described for a canister purge valve. A method comprises rotating an armature within a valve body in the canister purge valve as the canister purge valve opens and closes during a purge operation. The armature is encircled at a first end by an elastomer seal with multiple angled wings that enable rotation of the armature about a central longitudinal axis during the purge operation.
