A porous filter medium forms a filter or liner for extracting hydrocarbons from vapors emitted from a motorized vehicle, device or appliance fuel tank. The filter medium is a polymer network of a foam, nonwoven or collection of particles and has fine pore size and a butane working capacity (W/W %) of 4.0 percent or higher.

We claim: 1. A method for removing hydrocarbons from a gaseous stream emitted from a fuel tank during refueling of a motor vehicle, device or appliance with a hydrocarbon-based fuel consuming engine, comprising: installing a filter in a flow path established between the fuel tank and an exhaust from the fuel tank, wherein said filter comprises two or more foam blocks aligned in stacked relation within a canister, and wherein the foam forming said blocks has a pore count between about 45 and 300 pores per inch and has been coated with an adsorbent particle coating, and further wherein each foam block defines at least one channel having a channel axis extending in the direction of the flow path formed therein through which a gas may flow and said channels of adjacent foam blocks are substantially axially aligned. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymer network has an air permeability of 0.1 to 20 inches water pressure drop. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the foam is selected from the group consisting of polyether polyurethane foam, polyester polyurethane foam and melamine foam. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the foam is reticulated before the coating is applied. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the coating comprises one or more materials selected from the group consisting of activated carbons, silicas, silicates, aluminosilicates, filter agents, molecular sieves, flame retardants, electrically conductive materials, antimicrobial additives, germicides, pigments and colorants. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said filter has a butane working capacity (W/W%) of at least 8.0 percent. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the foam has a pore count of from 45 to 80 pores per inch. 8. A system for extracting evaporative hydrocarbon emissions from a motorized vehicle, device or appliance, comprising: a housing defining an inner chamber; an inlet through which a gas stream containing a hydrocarbon enters the inner chamber; an outlet from which a gas stream exits the inner chamber; and a filter in the inner chamber, said filter comprising two or more foam blocks that are aligned in stacked relation within the inner chamber, wherein the foam forming said blocks has a pore count between about 45 and 300 pores per inch and has been coated with an adsorbent particle coating, and further wherein each foam block defines at least one channel having a channel axis extending in the direction of the flow path formed therein through which a portion of the gas stream may flow and said channels of adjacent foam blocks are substantially axially aligned. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the foam has an air permeability of 0.1 to 20 inches water pressure drop. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the foam is selected from the group consisting of polyether polyurethane foam, polyester polyurethane foam and melamine foam. 11. The system of claim 8, wherein the foam is reticulated before the coating is applied. 12. The system of claim 8, wherein the coating comprises one or more materials selected from the group consisting of activated carbons, silicas, silicates, aluminosilicates, filter agents, molecular sieves, flame retardants, electrically conductive materials, antimicrobial additives, germicides, pigments and colorants. 13. The system of claim 8, wherein said filter has a butane working capacity (W/W%) of at least 8.0 percent. 14. The system of claim 8, wherein the foam has a pore count of from 45 to 80 pores per inch. 15. The system of claim 8, wherein the housing has a generally cylindrical shape which tapers from a larger cylindrical diameter at or near one end to a smaller cylindrical diameter at or near the other end. 16. The system of claim 8, wherein the foam blocks have cylindrical diameters. 17. The system of claim 8, wherein the foam blocks have substantially equal cylindrical diameters. 18. The system of claim 15, wherein the foam blocks have cylindrical diameters, and the cylindrical diameter of the foam blocks is larger than the smaller cylindrical diameter of the housing.
