Where is the carbon canister located in a car?

[MaggieAnn]

The carbon canister is located between the fuel tank and the engine in a car. It utilizes the adsorption capacity of internal activated charcoal to absorb and store fuel vapors from the fuel tank. The carbon canister is part of the evaporative emission control system, introduced to prevent fuel vapors from entering the atmosphere after the engine stops running. The working principle of the carbon canister is: 1. After the engine is turned off, fuel vapors mix with fresh air inside the canister and are stored in the activated carbon canister; 2. When the engine is started, the solenoid valve installed between the activated carbon canister and the intake manifold opens, allowing the fuel vapors in the activated carbon canister to be drawn into the cylinder by the vacuum in the intake pipe, where they mix with clean air and participate in combustion.
