Where is the charcoal canister located in a car?

[Brooklyn]

The charcoal canister is positioned between the fuel tank and the engine in a vehicle. It utilizes the adsorption capacity of its internal activated charcoal to absorb and store gasoline vapors from the fuel tank. As part of the evaporative emission control system, the charcoal canister is introduced to prevent fuel vapors from entering the atmosphere after the engine shuts down. The working principle of the charcoal canister is as follows: 1. After the engine is turned off, gasoline vapors mix with fresh air inside the canister and are stored in the activated charcoal canister; 2. When the engine starts, the solenoid valve installed between the activated charcoal canister and the intake manifold opens, allowing the gasoline vapors in the activated charcoal canister to be drawn into the cylinder by the vacuum in the intake pipe along with clean air for combustion.
