  • Patent number: 10906392
    Abstract: A fuel filling and vapor recovery system for a vehicle is described. The system includes: a canister that is in communication with a fuel receptacle in the vehicle to collect and filter fuel vapor; a first tube that is connected to the canister; a second tube that is connected to the fuel receptacle; and a canister box that is configured for connection to the first and second tubes. The canister box includes an upper member, and a lower member that is configured for engagement with the upper member such that a watertight seal is formed therebetween to prevent external water intrusion into the canister box. The lower member includes an integral connector that is configured for connection to the first tube to allow the fuel vapor to enter the canister box.
