Fig. 59 Inverted function vapor canister w/encapsulated purge solenoid
Inverter Function Vapor Canister
In this canister, Fig. 59, gasoline vapors from fuel tank flow into tube labeled ``tank'' and are absorbed into the carbon. Any liquid fuel goes into a
reservoir in bottom of canister to prevent damage of the carbon bed above. The canister is purged when engine is running above idle speed. Ambient air
is allowed into canister through a tube. This air mixes with vapor which is drawn into the intake manifold.
The ECM operates a solenoid valve which controls vacuum to the purge valve in the charcoal canister.
