How to Check for a Clogged Charcoal Canister?
1 Answers
Methods to determine if the charcoal canister is clogged are as follows: 1. The engine stalls due to the ventilation port of the charcoal canister being blocked by foreign objects; 2. Symptoms such as poor acceleration, jerking, and unstable or fluctuating idle speed occur; 3. Gasoline vapor or oil dripping appears at the atmospheric vent of the charcoal canister, indicating damage to the canister. If you are unsure how to assess it, you can consult a car repair shop for maintenance advice. The charcoal canister is used to store fuel vapors. Inside the canister, there are activated carbon particles that absorb fuel vapors, preventing them from being released into the environment when the fuel tank vents to the outside. Over time, clogging may occur, which can affect the normal operation of the vehicle.
