CANISTER ASSY, CHARCOAL

Charcoal Emission Canister ?

Essential Role in Fuel System

This part is crucial in your vehicle’s emission control system. It serves to trap and store fuel vapors from the fuel tank, preventing them from escaping into the atmosphere. The canister contains activated charcoal, which absorbs and holds fuel vapors until they can be purged and burned in the engine during normal operation.

How It Works

As fuel evaporates, vapors travel from the tank to this component. The activated charcoal inside absorbs the vapors. When the engine runs, a purge valve opens and the vapors are drawn into the intake manifold to be burned off, reducing harmful emissions and improving efficiency.

Risks of Failure

• Increased emissions, risking inspection failure
• Check engine light activation
• Poor fuel efficiency and possible odor of gasoline
• Potential drivability issues like rough idle
