May 2007 Workshop Manual 3-13-1
Engine (03.00)
Evaporative Emissions (03.13)
Description
The evaporative loss system prevents escape of fuel vapours
into the atmosphere.
Fuel vapour is displaced from the fuel tank during filling.
Vapour is also displaced due to fuel evaporation in higher
temperatures. Displaced fuel vapour is absorbed in the
carbon canister filter located on top of the fuel tank.
During normal engine running, absorbed fuel vapour is
purged from the carbon canisters and mixed with the normal
fuel/air charge in the inlet manifold.
System Operation
Displaced fuel vapour leaves the fuel tank via the normally
open fill level vent valve and the roll over valves. It passes
through the carbon canister where fuel hydrocarbons are
absorbed. Clean air leaves the system via the normally open
canister vent valve. This valve is only closed during
diagnostic pressure testing of the fuel system.
During normal engine ru nning, the single vapour
management valve in the engine bay is periodically opened
allowing fresh air flow into th e open canister vent valve,
through the carbon canister, through the vapour
management valve and into the primary inlet manifold. This
fresh air flow progressively purg es any absorbed fuel vapour
from the carbon canister.
