An EVAP system prevents fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere

Fuel vapors are absorbed by the carbon adsorber

The adsorber is installed in the engine compartment and is connected by pipelines to the fuel tank and the purge solenoid valve

The canister purge solenoid valve installed on the air supply hose switches the system operation modes based on signals from the engine control unit.

Fuel vapors from the fuel tank are constantly discharged through the pipeline and accumulate in the adsorber filled with activated carbon (adsorbent)

When the engine is running, the adsorbent is periodically regenerated (recovered) by blowing the adsorber with fresh air from the atmosphere

Air enters the system under the action of vacuum transmitted through the pipeline from the intake manifold to the adsorber cavity when the purge valve installed in the pipeline is opened

The electronic engine control unit regulates the intensity of the adsorber purge depending on the engine operating mode, supplying a signal to the valve with a variable pulse frequency.

Fuel vapors from the canister through the pipeline enter the engine intake manifold and burn in the cylinders.

Failures in the evaporative emission system lead to unstable idling up to engine shutdown, increased toxicity of exhaust gases and deterioration in driving performance.

Replacing the canister of the fuel vapor recovery system

The evaporative emission system canister is removed for inspection or replacement when a persistent smell of gasoline occurs due to canister leaks.

In addition, a violation of the tightness of the adsorber can cause unstable operation of the engine at idle until it stops.
