Where is the car's activated charcoal canister located?
1 Answers
The car's activated charcoal canister is installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Its function is to reduce the emission of gasoline vapors from the fuel tank and carburetor, directing the vapors into combustion to prevent them from evaporating into the atmosphere. Modern vehicles use sealed fuel tanks in conjunction with charcoal canisters. Relevant details are as follows: 1. When the engine is running: The car's activated charcoal canister, also known as the gasoline vehicle fuel vapor adsorption-desorption device, allows the engine to draw fuel vapors from the tank and vapors adsorbed by the activated material into the intake pipe when the solenoid valve is activated. 2. When the engine is not running: When the engine is off or the solenoid valve is not activated, fuel vapors from the tank enter the activated charcoal canister and are absorbed by the activated material.
