How often should the activated carbon canister be replaced?
1 Answers
The activated carbon canister generally needs to be replaced every 4 years or 60,000 kilometers. The carbon canister is prone to clogging, which can prevent fuel vapors from escaping, leading to excessive pressure from exhaust gases in the fuel tank. Its primary function is to reduce emission pollution. During daily use, it's important to note that the activated carbon canister should not be subjected to impacts or strong vibrations, as these can shorten its lifespan. The activated carbon canister is a container filled with activated carbon, designed to adsorb gasoline vapors escaping from the fuel tank and carburetor when the engine is turned off. When the engine is started, the adsorbed gasoline is then blown out and burned. The activated carbon canister is a crucial component in both the ignition and emission systems.
