Where is the activated charcoal canister located in a car?
1 Answers
Activated charcoal canisters are positioned between the fuel tank and engine pipelines in vehicles, with installation locations varying across different car models. Some are mounted on the vehicle frame, while others are installed near the engine front cover. Typically, the fuel tank has only three pipes: the fuel supply pipe and return pipe both connect to the engine. By following the remaining pipe, you can locate the charcoal canister. The automobile engine's activated charcoal canister features three outlets: the upper two connect to the fuel tank and activated charcoal canister solenoid valve respectively, while the lower outlet vents to the atmosphere. The canister contains activated material. When the engine operates and the solenoid valve engages, the engine draws fuel vapors from the tank and steam adsorbed by the activated material into the intake manifold. When the engine is off or the solenoid valve disengages, fuel tank vapors enter the activated charcoal canister and get absorbed by the activated material.
