What are the effects of water ingress in the Accord's charcoal canister?

[McElle]

Water ingress in the Accord's charcoal canister can easily lead to engine damage and affect the vehicle's service life. Below is a detailed introduction about the vehicle's charcoal canister: 1. Overview: The charcoal canister is generally installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, the fuel tank is often filled with vapor at normal temperatures. The fuel evaporation emission control system's function is to direct the vapor into combustion and prevent it from evaporating into the atmosphere. The activated charcoal canister storage device plays a crucial role in this process. 2. Others: After the engine is turned off, gasoline vapor mixes with fresh air inside the canister and is stored in the activated charcoal canister. When the engine starts, the solenoid valve installed between the activated charcoal canister and the intake manifold opens, and the gasoline vapor inside the activated charcoal canister is drawn into the cylinder by the vacuum in the intake pipe to participate in combustion along with clean air.
