CATCH TANK CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION

• Integrated with the extension manifold (upper) and cannot be disassembled.
• Evaporative gas between the purge solenoid valve and the charcoal canister is liquefied while being
transferred to the extension manifold (upper) due to a decrease in temperature and other factors. The catch
tank holds such liquefied evaporative gas (gasoline).
• Liquefied evaporative gas is held in the catch tank and not supplied to the extension manifold (upper). This
prevents an overly rich air-fuel ratio.

CHARCOAL CANISTER FUNCTION

• A canister filled with activated charcoal that absorbs evaporative gas temporarily.
End Of Sie

CHARCOAL CANISTER CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION

• A charcoal canister contains activated carbon.
End Of Sie

EVAPORATIVE CHAMBER FUNCTION

• Prevents flooding of the charcoal canister hose that opens to the atmosphere.
End Of Sie

EVAPORATIVE CHAMBER CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION

• Installed into the rear crossmember.
• A small section with partitions is located in the evaporative chamber. These partitions protect the charcoal
canister by preventing flooding as atmospheric air enters from the airflow holes.

FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE FUNCTION

• The fuel shut-off valve prevents fuel from flowing to the charcoal canister during tight turns or vehicle rollover.
• The fuel shut-off valve releases evaporative gas to the charcoal canister.
• During refueling, it is possible that, due to the built-up pressure caused by evaporative emissions in the fuel
tank, the fuel could overflow. The shut-off valve closes to prevent such a fuel overflow.
