1 Answers
The hazards of a clogged carbon canister are: 1. Abnormal noises when the vehicle is in motion; 2. Jerky acceleration and noticeable gasoline odor inside the car when pressing the throttle; 3. Fluctuating engine idle speed and weak acceleration. When a clogged carbon canister is detected, it must be cleaned or replaced promptly to avoid affecting vehicle performance. The carbon canister is located between the fuel tank and the engine. It utilizes the adsorption capacity of its internal activated charcoal to absorb and store fuel vapors from the tank. The carbon canister is part of the evaporative emission control system, introduced to prevent fuel vapors from entering the atmosphere after the engine is shut off.
