Active purge pump system module for evaporative emission control system

An active purge pump system module for an evaporative emission control system for a vehicle, the evaporative emission control system including a fuel tank, a vapor collection canister in communication with the fuel tank, an air intake directing air to an internal combustion engine of the vehicle, and a purge valve connected between the canister and the air intake, the active purge pump system module comprising:

• a pump in fluid communication with the canister, the pump being constructed and arranged to move air independently of operation of the engine;
• and
• a bypass valve assembly in fluid communication with an upstream side and a downstream side of the pump so as to bypass the pump, the bypass valve assembly being constructed and arranged to be moved between opened and closed position such that when in the closed position, the pump, when activated, is constructed and arranged to move purge vapor from the canister, through the purge valve, and to the engine to be consumed during combustion, and when the bypass valve assembly is opened and the pump is deactivated, vehicle refueling is permitted.
