The evaporative emission control system prevents fuel vapors escaping to atmosphere. This is done by storing the fuel vapors temporarily in the activated charcoal canister.

When the engine is running, the fuel vapors stored in the activated charcoal canister are drawn off through the purge control valve and combusted in the engine.

Purging of the activated charcoal canister takes place at:

- coolant temperature > 70 °C

- > 2 minutes after engine start

- engine not in deceleration mode

The purge control valve is actuated by the engine control module in order to control the purge quantity. The purge quantity is determined by constantly opening and closing the purge control valve for on and off periods of various lengths.

Air admission to fuel tank 

Air is admitted through the activated charcoal canister. This is done by air being drawn through the activated charcoal canister out of the air admission line, or fuel vapors drawn out of the activated charcoal canister into the fuel tank.

Air release from fuel tank 

The fuel tank is vented through the activated charcoal canister. In this case, the fuel vapors flow to the activated charcoal canister where they are stored, or if purging is activated at that moment, they are drawn off into the intake manifold.

IMPORTANT

On vehicles fitted with a vent valve the fuel tank is vented from a pressure of 30-50 mbar, and air admitted at a vacuum of 1-16 mbar.
