What faults may occur if the motorcycle charcoal canister gets water inside?
1 Answers
If the motorcycle charcoal canister gets water inside, it may allow moisture to enter the air-fuel mixture, affecting the mixture quality and causing poor combustion or even stalling. It is advisable to remove the waterlogged charcoal canister to dry it out or replace it. Alternatively, you can temporarily disconnect it from the carburetor or intake pipe and ensure all hoses are properly sealed to prevent air leaks. Introduction to the charcoal canister: The charcoal canister is typically installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a highly volatile liquid, the fuel tank often contains vapors at normal temperatures. The fuel evaporation emission control system is designed to direct these vapors into the combustion process and prevent them from being released into the atmosphere. The activated charcoal canister plays a crucial role in this storage process. Function of the charcoal canister: Environmental protection: It recovers fuel vapors from the tank to prevent them from polluting the air and sends the recovered vapors back to the engine for combustion, contributing to energy savings (though the effect is negligible; the primary purpose is environmental protection).
