BMW X5 carbon canister purge solenoid valve is located on the left side of the engine, next to the intake pipe. Function of carbon canister purge solenoid valve: The carbon canister purge solenoid valve is a device installed in cars or motorcycles to reduce air pollution caused by fuel vapor emissions while improving fuel efficiency. Principle of carbon canister purge solenoid valve: When the engine is off, the vehicle's activated carbon canister begins absorbing fuel vapors evaporating from the fuel tank and securely locks them within the micropores of the activated charcoal in the canister, preventing the vapors from being released into the atmosphere. When the engine starts, the absorbed fuel vapors in the canister are then delivered to the engine as fuel.
