Vehicle fuel vapor recovery system

A vehicle fuel vapor recovery structure comprising:

• a compartment wall structure having an interior surface defining a fuel filler compartment, the fuel filler compartment defining a tube receiving opening and a vent opening;
• a fuel tank;
• a fuel filler tube having an outer surface, an inner surface, a fuel receiving end and a fuel tank attachment end opposite the fuel receiving end, the fuel tank attachment end extending to the fuel tank and being directly attached to the fuel tank, the fuel receiving end defining a filler opening, the inner surface defining a fuel passageway that extends from the filler opening to the fuel tank attachment end, the fuel receiving end being located at the tube receiving opening of the fuel filler compartment and the fuel tank attachment end being located outside the fuel filler compartment and spaced apart from the compartment wall structure, the fuel receiving end extending through the tube receiving opening such that the fuel receiving end and the filler opening are located within the fuel filler compartment;
• and
• an air vent structure located outside of the fuel filler compartment and outside the fuel filler tube along the outer surface of the fuel filler tube above the fuel tank attachment end and spaced apart from the fuel attachment end of the fuel filler tube, the air vent structure having a first wall and a second wall, the first wall having a first end contacting an exterior surface of the fuel filler compartment, the second wall extending from the first wall toward the outer surface of the fuel filler tube, with the first wall, the second wall, a portion of the outer surface of the fuel filler tube and a portion of the exterior surface of the fuel filler compartment defining an air vent chamber in fluid communication with the vent opening of the compartment wall structure, the air vent structure defining a chamber opening connected via a vent line to a fuel vapor filter canister such that vapor from the fuel filler compartment is vented to the fuel vapor filter canister through the chamber opening, the air vent structure having a screen at the chamber opening to prevent entry of objects through the chamber opening to the fuel vapor filter canister.
