1. Part of the car's emissions controls, this charcoal-filled canister's job is to absorb fuel vapor that would otherwise vent out to the atmosphere, causing pollution. Vapors trapped by the charcoal are released back into the engine through the purge valve and then burned.
2. By circulating controlled amount of exhaust gases into the intake manifold through the charcoal canister, the combustion temperature is lowered, this in turn, reduces the amount of NOx emission.
3. As per a new study, reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions can be helpful in preventing up to 3 million premature deaths yearly by the year 2100. By reaching 2050, if the reduction continuous, we would be able to prevent 800,000 to 1.8 million premature deaths annually.
4.Charcoal Canister
Part of the car’s emissions controls, this charcoal-filled canister’s job is to absorb fuel vapor that would otherwise vent out to the atmosphere, causing pollution. Vapors trapped by the charcoal are released back into the engine through the purge valve and then burned.
Charcoal canister problems can often cause the check engine light to go on, and they are often difficult for mechanics to diagnose.
5.You’ve probably never considered what happens when the charcoal canister in your car goes bad. That’s because it’s possibly one of the most reliable parts of your vehicle.
The charcoal canister (aka: EVAP canister) is an essential part of the Evaporative Emission Control System (often shortened to “EVAP”). This system helps ensure that dangerous fumes from your gas tank aren’t released into the environment and instead puts them to work powering the engine.
There are times when this part is damaged or becomes faulty after years of use. Because charcoal canisters rarely degrade, it’s helpful to be familiar with the symptoms, so you know what to do next, and how much this repair will set you back.
