What is the function of evaporative emission canister?

What is the function of Evaporative Emission Canister. The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister is a storage device for fuel vapors that are emitted by the fuel tank in hot soak conditions. When the vehicle is at normal operating conditions, the vapors are purged from the canister. The EVAP canister is controlled by the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve.

How does the evaporative emissions system work?

The evaporative emission (EVAP) control system limits the fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. The EVAP transfers the fuel vapors from the sealed fuel tank to an activated carbon storage device, the EVAP canister. The EVAP canister stores the vapors until the engine is able to use the extra fuel vapor.

Where is the EVAP emission canister?

The EVAP emissions control canister is located on the driver side, near the rear tires . Jack up the vehicle from the recommended jack placement and place the rear of the vehicle on jack stands for support. Make sure to keep pressure on the jack after lowering the vehicle onto the jack stands for extra safety.
