Abstract

Methods and systems are presented for collecting fuel vapors in a fuel system that includes a side mount fuel tank. The methods and systems may allow fuel vapors to be captured during filling of the side mount fuel tank. In one example, the side mount fuel tank is fitted with a fuel filler tube that extends into the side mount fuel tank so that fuel vapors may be captured while the side mount fuel tank is being filled.
