    In the 90's we had Clinton in office. We also had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Now we have Obama in office and we have no Hope and no Cash.

          Collects gas vapors and feeds it back to the engine to reduce hydrocarbon emissions.

            Yes, that's the charcoal canister. When you shut off the engine gas vapours still rise into the atmosphere so the government dictates that they be captured and saved in the charcoal canister until the next time you start the engine when they are sucked out of the canister into the engine by the engine vacuum and burned.
