Charcoal Canister

A sealed canister is used on all models. Fuel vapors from fuel tank are stored in activated charcoal while engine is not operating. When engine is operating, vapor is purged from canister into engine where it is burned with air/fuel mixture. When engine is operating, fuel evaporating from carburetor or throttle body passes to the canister. Canister is located in the wheelwell area.

On 5.2L engines, canister is purged by intake manifold vacuum through a vacuum connection on the carburetor.
