But I cannot say with certainty that it doesn't at all. I believe that the evap of a return system has more to do with the heating of the fuel that is effectively cooling the rails and bringing the heat to the tank. Then again, the evap in the tank gets vented to the intake manifold eventually other than the pressure that escapes when you open the gas cap.

This forum is probably the wrong venue to get proper details on emissions systems since it's the last thing most tuners think about or study!
That's exactly why I find it funny that government regulations are giving the OEM's trouble over the extremely small permeability of the fuel hoses when you vent everything to the atmosphere by opening your gas cap.
