What are the symptoms of a damaged car carbon canister?
1 Answers
Car carbon canister failure symptoms include: jerking during sudden acceleration, noticeable gasoline odor, weak acceleration, fluctuating engine idle speed, engine stalling easily, difficulty starting, etc. The main function of the carbon canister is to adsorb and filter gasoline vapors inside the fuel tank. Through solenoid valve control, it allows fuel vapors to enter the engine for combustion, thereby reducing fuel consumption and preventing excessive fuel tank pressure. Below is additional information: The role of the carbon canister: to reduce the emission of gasoline evaporation from the carburetor. The carbon canister is generally located between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, under normal temperature conditions, the fuel tank will generate some fuel vapors. The carbon canister directs these fuel vapors into combustion and prevents them from evaporating into the atmosphere.
