Exactly years ago, since January , , all new national cars gained a fundamental technology to control evaporative emissions. Long before the catalyst and the popularization of electronic injection , the canister was one of the first advances to control pollution.
But, even though it is an “old acquaintance”, this system for reusing evaporated fuel from the tank is almost never remembered during preventive inspections. Most of the time, maintenance only happens when a more serious failure is detected by the injection module.
For you to carry out a complete job and also collaborate with the planet, we have gathered in this post the main information about the canister, presenting its components and functions, the most common problems and even giving some important tips for your customers. Don't waste time and follow along!

The history and function of the canister
Those who are older remember that, until the s, no BTC Number Data one talked about controlling vehicle pollution in Brazil. The cars were still equipped with carburetors, the tank caps never sealed properly and the tank breathers were hanging hoses that dripped onto the floor.
To align with the rest of the world, the National Environmental Council approved a new resolution on May , The Air Pollution Control Program from Motor Vehicles was created and factories needed to make the first changes to cars in a period of two years.
After gaining new tanks and much better lids, the vehicles started to rely on the canister, a system where the main part is an activated carbon filter. It is capable of absorbing fuel vapors and then sending them to the intake system to be burned by the engine.
Over the years, this technology has evolved and today works integrated with electronic injection. By the way, this is a major point of attention, because defects are often confused and complicate the diagnosis. In general, we find the following components.
