Which component stores that vapour?

  • A.The fuel tank itself, whose sealed construction retains the vapour until it is drawn into the engine to be burnt
  • B.The catalyst
  • C.A canister containing activated carbon, which adsorbs the hydrocarbons until the engine is able to purge them
  • D.A charcoal canister

Answer: D

Activated carbon adsorbs the vapour and releases it when purge air is drawn through. The last option describes exactly that mechanism, which makes it a correct and more detailed version of the same answer. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. The quantity that varies and the quantity that does not are worth naming before any substitution is attempted.
