EVAP Check Valve
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 28 other vehicles, including the 2014 Lincoln Navigator, 2014 Lincoln MKZ, 2014 Lincoln MKX, 2014 Lincoln MKT, and 2014 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EVAP check valve is used on turbocharged engines to prevent boost pressure from forcing open the EVAP purge valve and entering the EVAP system. The valve is open under normal engine vacuum. The valve closes during boost conditions to prevent the fuel tank from being pressurized and hydrocarbons forced out of the EVAP system into the atmosphere through the EVAP canister vent valve. When the engine is OFF, or at atmospheric pressure, the EVAP check valve is in an indeterminate state. The EVAP check valve is an integral part of the EVAP purge valve assembly.
