Evaporative Emissions System: Operation

Fuel vapors from fuel tank are routed to charcoal canister for storage. As engine is running, fresh air is drawn through canister, purging fuel vapors from charcoal. The air/vapor mixture is then routed to air cleaner and into combustion chamber. The sub-tank allows for expansion of fuel during temperature rise and also to prevent gasoline from entering vapor line during cornering.
