1 Answers
The carbon canister in the Mercedes-Benz E260L is located between the fuel tank and the engine. Function of the carbon canister: Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, the fuel tank often contains vapor at normal temperatures. The fuel evaporation emission control system is designed to direct these vapors into the combustion process and prevent them from escaping into the atmosphere. The activated carbon canister storage device plays a crucial role in this process. Working principle of the carbon canister: After the engine is turned off, gasoline vapors mix with fresh air inside the canister and are stored in the activated carbon canister. When the engine is started, the electromagnetic valve of the fuel vapor purge device, installed between the activated carbon canister and the intake manifold, opens. The gasoline vapors in the activated carbon canister are then drawn into the intake manifold to participate in combustion.
