For that reason I have tried to abstain from political wars online and to discourage them in the auto groups I frequent. (No coffee for me, though - sorry - my stomache doesn't like it.) I used to participate but decided it was not a good thing. Mike |

Fortunately for my wallet, and unfortunately for my automotive education, I sold my beloved 91 Civic LX yesterday for a little less than KBB "good condition" price, to a family who lives in the next town over where emissions testing is not required and so did said they did not care. I have had my Civic on the market for a few weeks now. For the archives, one owner older cars maintained decently sell quickly. I am a little bummed, because I did not get to solve the problem. I was all set designing a special O2 sensor test harness and testing engine compression, too. OTOH, it was taking a lot of time. It has made me contemplate more tools to tell me about FI durations; trim; etc. Forward with my new used 1993 Civic DX w/OEM cruise control. |

Prior to the addition of this system, a significant amount of gasoline in the fuel tank used to evaporate and contribute significantly to air pollution along with loss of gasoline and so less miles-per-gallon. (E.g. one site said about 20% of a vehicle's emissions would be from evaporating gasoline in the tank.) Now, when the pressure in the fuel tank gets high enough (on, for example, a hot day) some of this evaporated gasoline is vented to a charcoal canister. The canister is a holding tank for the fumes. It is is typically mounted on the passenger side firewall under the hood. The charcoal in the canister absorbs some of the fumes and is generally a holding tank. Under certain operating conditions, the car's computer signals the canister purge valve to open, and a hose from the engine intake/throttle body sucks the fumes into the intake for burning. The hose on the bottom of the typical canister vents to atmosphere, so that the vacuum placed on the canister when the engine is drawing from it does not collapse it. Probably the biggest practical lesson I got out of this study was not to top off my fuel tank by going beyond one click at the fuel pump. Evidently overfilling risks putting liquid gasoline into the charcoal canister, causing vacuum leak type problems for the engine control system and generally negating performance of the evap system. blah blah. I am paraphrasing a buncha web sites. |
