Abstract
A vapor removal fuel containment fuel tank for a vehicle includes a tank shell having a wall formed from a primary fuel containment layer. The fuel tank also includes a secondary fuel containment layer disposed adjacent the primary fuel containment layer to contain fuel therein. The fuel tank further includes a vapor removal system extending through the primary fuel containment layer to allow fuel vapors that build up between the primary fuel containment layer and secondary fuel containment layer to be removed from the fuel tank.
