Methods and systems are provided for regulating the flow of fuel vapors exiting a fuel tank. In one example, a method for an engine may include adjusting an amount of fuel vapors flowing through a fuel vapor recirculation line, where the recirculation line may be coupled on a first end to a fuel tank and on an opposite second end to a fuel fill inlet. The valve may be adjusted to a more open position to increase fuel vapor flow through the recirculation line in response to increases in hydrocarbon emissions from a fuel vapor canister, and to a more closed position to reduce fuel vapor flow through the recirculation line in response to increases in hydrocarbon emissions from the fuel fill inlet.
