Fuel Vapor Recovery Bottle

[ntsqd]

I am wondering if anyone has opened one up and taken a picture of the inside? Like this part from Tom's: Fuel Vapor Recovery Bottle. I am curious if it has any baffles inside or if it is just an open volume with no baffles, and if it has baffles then exactly how they're arranged.

1 have one not sure if baffled
, but if not then guessing the length of the tube into the reservoir for each line ,,the vapor lines from tank/s would go up inside nearly to top as well the line comes it out and going to canister.. and then ‘a liquid drag n back line then tank that jumps st goes inside at bottom of reservoir,,, fwiw that’s what I did with mine I made a reservoir out of stainless that fits up inside the cavity outside up in the fenderwell .. works well,,

The bottle is empty. The "baffles" are the hose ends that stick up inside it. Tall ones only take in vapor; short ones take in liquid.

If you were to look inside with a borescope, you would typically see that the outer lines have small plastic tubes extending toward the top of the tank, while the center line (drain) does not.

Thanks!
I don't have one of those parts to look at, but I figured that someone, somewhere had gotten curious about what they looked like inside.

broke one open, baffles at top, charcoal at bottom. Did I say on purpose broke it open, uh, no of course not

The charcoal canister or the vapor/liquid separator?

Here's my 3 port (no auxiliary tank) fuel/vapor separator held in front of a light.
You can see the two outside ports have long tubes extending toward the top of
the bottle, whereas the center one doesn't. The left one goes to a charcoal canister
mounted to the firewall and the middle and right ones go to the fuel tank.
