Where is the Cruze charcoal canister located?
1 Answers
Typically, the charcoal canister purge valve is located in the engine compartment of the vehicle. The function of the charcoal canister purge valve is to reduce air pollution caused by fuel vapor emissions while simultaneously improving fuel efficiency. When the engine is turned off, the charcoal canister begins absorbing fuel vapors evaporating from the fuel tank, trapping them firmly within the activated carbon micropores inside the canister to prevent fuel vapor from being released into the atmosphere. Below is a detailed introduction about it: Introduction: The charcoal canister purge valve can open, allowing gases formed by gasoline evaporation in the canister to enter the engine's intake manifold. When not needed, the charcoal canister purge valve can close. Function: The charcoal canister is generally installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, the fuel tank often contains vapors at normal temperatures. The fuel evaporation emission control system's role is to direct these vapors into the combustion process and prevent them from volatilizing into the atmosphere. The activated charcoal canister storage device plays a crucial role in this process.
