Chevrolet Avalanche Vapor Canister
In Chevrolet Avalanche cars the Vapor Canister is part of the evaporation emissions control EVAP system which is supposed to hold hydrocarbons from escaping into the atmosphere. It works with the help of a carbon canister, which is designed as a storage unit for fuel vapors; the canister used contains activated charcoal to adsorb them. When the engine is running, a purge valve opens and a stream of air and stored vapors is sucked into the engine and burnt. Derivatives of the Vapor Canister have been used in the various models of Avalanche with other models containing a cartridge that can be replaced for efficiency purposes. Newer models have other diagnostic facets; these are the canister vent solenoid and fuel tank pressure sensor, which make it even easier for the system to find and prevent leaks. They assist in retaining the environmental characteristics while enhancing aspirations of vehicle performance.
