The evaporative emissions canister is located on the top of the rear left wheel arch.
Inside the evaporative emissions canister contains a bed of activated charcoal or carbon. This makes the charcoal or carbon capable of absorbing large quantities of fuel vapor. Once treated the charcoal or carbon is known as activated charcoal or carbon.
The evaporative emissions canister has a capacity of 1800 cc (110 in3 ). Two connectors on the evaporative emissions canister allow for the attachment of the ventilation pipe from the fuel tank and the vapor pipe to the purge valve.
An atmospheric vent is located between the two connectors on the evaporative emissions canister and allows fresh air to be drawn into the canister during the purge process.
