Re: what does the evap system do ?

Your EVAP system takes fumes from the gas tank, mixes them with air then feeds it to the motor while it's running. It keeps raw gasoline fumes from getting to the outside air...a pollution consideration and it is unwasted fuel when it's put back in the motor.
It does not hurt power one bit.
