Abstract: A general-purpose engine fuel tank fuel vapor treatment system includes: a canister mounted on a peripheral part of a fuel filler opening of a fuel tank mounted on a general-purpose engine, the canister housing a fuel adsorbent for adsorbing fuel vapor generated in the interior of the fuel tank; and an air vent provided in a tank cap fitted into the filler opening of the fuel tank. The air vent has an inner end opening in the interior of the fuel tank, and an outer end opening to the atmosphere. The canister is connected to the air vent. The interior of the fuel tank is made open to the atmosphere via the canister and the air vent. Thus, need for special piping is eliminated and fuel vapor within the fuel tank is treated while always stably maintaining the interior of the fuel tank at atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: An exhaust gas reflux apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes one-way connection means provided between an intake rocker arm and an exhaust rocker arm. The one-way connection means moves between a non-operating position where the intake and exhaust rocker arms are released and an operating position where the intake and exhaust rocker arms are connected to open the exhaust valve only when the intake rocker arm rocks in a valve opening direction of the intake valve. An actuator for switching the one-way connection means between the non-operating position and the operating position is connected to the one-way connection means. Thus, an exhaust gas is sucked into a combustion chamber from an exhaust port using a general exhaust valve in an intake stroke, when exhaust gas reflux is required.
