Is High Car Fuel Consumption Related to the Carbon Canister?
1 Answers
The carbon canister in a car is used to adsorb evaporated gasoline vapors, reducing atmospheric pollution, and has no relation to the vehicle's gasoline consumption. Below is some extended information about gasoline: 1. Basic Information: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation and cracking, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. 2. Development Background: In the mid-19th century, people did not yet recognize the importance of gasoline, with kerosene for lamps being widely used at the time. Petroleum refining then relied on simple distillation processes to separate components with different boiling points from crude oil. Kerosene components, with higher boiling points, were safer for lamp use and became the primary product of crude oil refining, while gasoline and other components were often burned as fuel.
