TITLE OF THE [NVENTION
[001] Arrangement of Evaporated Fuel Collecting Device
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[002] The present invention relates to incorporation of evaporated fuel collecting device in a two wheeled vehicle, .
BACKGROUD OF INVENTION
[003] Apart from the exhaust emissions from the two wheeled vehicles, evaporative emissions need to be controlled and the same can be achieved by employing the evaporated fuel collecting device. The said collecting device entraps the gaseous fuel vapours generated in the fuel tank and supplies them to the carburettor.
[004] The performance of the evaporated fuel collecting device depends on the charging and purging efficiency which in turn depend on the temperature to which evaporated fuel collecting device is exposed to. The charging efficiency has an inverse relationship with the temperature whilst the purging efficiency has a direct relationship with the temperature of the retention apparatus. The temperature of the evaporated fuel collecting device is dependent on factors such as proximity to the internal combustion engine, exhaust pipe, direct exposure to the sunlight and exposure towards the wind or airflow.
[005] The saddle type vehicle such as motorcycle does not have much space or room to accommodate the evaporated fuel collecting device with great flexibility such that the layout and arrangement of the evaporated fuel collecting device becomes restricted.
