What is the EVAP system in a Jeep?

SYSTEM. The evaporation control system prevents the emis- sion of fuel tank vapors into the atmosphere. When fuel evaporates in the fuel tank, the vapors pass through vent hoses or tubes to a charcoal filled evap- orative canister. The canister temporarily holds the vapors.

What could a small EVAP leak be?

A: Regular inspection and maintenance of your vehicle’s fuel system is the best way to prevent EVAP leaks, but sometimes things just happen. The most common causes for EVAP leaks include bad seals and O-rings, a failing purge valve, a damaged hose or vent, or a defective leak detection pump.
