q This fuel vapor separator is produced
with EcoPaXX engineering plastic, which
is 70% derived from renewable resources.
Two interesting things to know
about the fuel vapor separators
(which prevent fuel vapors from
reaching the atmosphere and
maintain fuel tank pressures)
being produced by Dytech
Dynamic Fluid Technologies
( dytech-dft.com ), which is head-
quartered southwest of Turin:
1. The separators are being pro-
duced for Ferrari and Maserati,
so presumably they are top-
notch. (And it also explains the
location of Dytech.)
2. The fuel vapor separators are
being produced with EcoPaXX
polyamide 410 from DSM ( dsm.
com/automotiv e), an engineer-
ing plastic that is 70% derived
from renewable resources and is
said to be "carbon neutral."
It is also resistant and imperme-
able to gasoline, and exhibits
high thermal and good dimen-
sional stability.
