Abstract

Evaporative emissions from gasoline powered vehicles continue to be a major concern. The performance of carbon canister in evaporative emission control systems has become an important aspect of overall fuel system development and design. A vehicle's evaporative emission control system is continuously working, even when the vehicle is not running, due to generation of vapors from the fuel tank during ambient temperature variations. In this study, the effects of evaporative emissions on the engine performance were investigated. The experimental results show the effectiveness of this system for future exhaust emissions and enhanced evaporative emissions. This paper discusses the evaluation on the relationship between carbon canister condition and engine performance while engine is running.
