Where is the carbon canister located on a Honda Civic?
1 Answers
The carbon canister of the Honda Civic is located next to the fuel tank and can only be seen after lifting the vehicle. The functions of the carbon canister are as follows: 1. Fuel savings: The carbon canister is filled with highly absorbent activated carbon. Excess fuel vapor from the tank is no longer released into the atmosphere but is directed into the activated carbon canister via a tube, where the activated carbon absorbs the fuel vapor. When the car is running, the carbon canister solenoid valve opens at the right time to reintroduce the absorbed fuel vapor into the intake manifold, thereby saving fuel. 2. Reduced pollutant emissions: When the engine starts, the solenoid valve between the activated carbon canister and the intake manifold opens, allowing the gasoline vapor in the carbon canister to be drawn into the cylinder by the vacuum in the intake pipe, where it mixes with clean air and burns. This process helps reduce emissions.
