On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery System (ORVR)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery System (ORVR) is an on-board vehicle system designed to recover fuel vapors during the vehicle refueling operation. The flow of liquid fuel down the fuel filler pipe provides a liquid seal which prevents vapor from leaving the fuel filler pipe. An evaporative emission (EVAP) pipe transports the fuel vapor to the EVAP canister for use by the engine.
