Active Carbon Canister

Active Carbon Canister: As the fuel vapors enter the canister, they will be absorbed by the active carbon. The remaining air will be vented to the atmosphere through the end of the canister (passing through the DMTL and filter) allowing the fuel tank to "breath".

When the engine is running, the canister is then "purged" using intake manifold vacuum to draw fresh air through the canister which extracts the hydrocarbon vapors into the combustion chamber. This cleans the canister for additional storage. The Active Carbon Canister (2) is combined with the DMTL Pump and is located in the right rear fender well.
