What is the "Activated Carbon Cannister"?

처리 내용

Gasoline is a pretty toxic liquid. And it evaporates pretty easily. The Carbon Cannister is a system to help keep toxic fumes from gasoline out of the environment. So here's how it works. You fill your car up with gasoline at the gas station. You add a gas cap to seal off the tank. Cool, no evil fumes can evaporate from your gas tank and contaminate the atmosphere. But... have you ever seen the science experiment in elementary school where they suck a vacuum on a Cola can? And the can goes totally flat because of the vacuum? Well imagine your gas tank as the soda can. As you drive, the gasoline gets consumed by the engine. If you had a tight seal on the tank (remember we don't want to vent gasoline fumes) then your gas tank would squish flat. And that's no fun. The carbon canister is a tool that allows us to vent clean air into the gas tank to prevent the tank from going flat. Clean air comes in to replace the gasoline. Gas vapors that evaporate inside your gas tank get trapped by the
