Which of the following does the carbon canister not do?

  • A.Reduce evaporative hydrocarbon loss
  • B.Treat exhaust gas leaving the engine
  • C.Adsorb fuel vapour from the tank
  • D.Release stored vapour when purged

Answer: B

Correct answer: Treat exhaust gas leaving the engine

The canister is part of the evaporative control system and sees no exhaust at all. It sits between the fuel tank and the engine intake.

The other three are exactly what it does: adsorb fuel vapour from the tank onto activated carbon while the vehicle is parked, release it when the engine controller commands a purge, and so reduce evaporative hydrocarbon loss. Exhaust treatment is the catalyst's work, on a quite separate path out of the vehicle.
