The carbon canister purge valve on the BMW N46 engine is located beneath the engine. Definition of the carbon canister purge valve: The carbon canister purge valve is a device installed in vehicles to reduce air pollution caused by fuel evaporation while simultaneously improving fuel efficiency. Function of the carbon canister purge valve: As a highly volatile liquid, gasoline tends to evaporate at room temperature, especially during summer, forming vapor that fills the fuel tank. When the engine is turned off, the vehicle's activated carbon canister begins absorbing fuel vapors evaporating from the tank, trapping them firmly within the micropores of the activated charcoal. The carbon canister purge valve prevents these fuel vapors from being released into the atmosphere.
