It accomplishes this by absorbing the toxic vapors that accumulate in the gas tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you refuel your vehicle, the fuel tank is vented to the charcoal canister. The canister then captures any gas fumes to prevent toxic vapors from escaping into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The charcoal canister sends the vapors it captures to the engine via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/purge-valve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"purge valve\">purge valve<\/a>.

Not only would you be exposed to nauseous, toxic fumes, but you&rsquo;d also be exposing pedestrians and passersby to the harmful gasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some telltale signs to help you discern whether it&rsquo;s time to replace your charcoal canister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difficulty Filling Fuel Tank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you struggle with refueling your car because the hose nozzle shuts off randomly, you could chalk it up to faulty fuel canisters or a failing purge valve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident occurs when the charcoal canister gets clogged. Because the fumes can&rsquo;t escape, pressure builds up in the fuel tank. A loud hissing noise indicates the pressure, which triggers when you open the cap to the fuel tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This buildup prevents you from refueling your vehicle because the gas in the tank needs to escape before any fuel comes in. Because the gas in the tank can&rsquo;t escape through a clogged canister, fuel can&rsquo;t enter the tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vehicle Reeks of Fuel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your car cabin could smell of fuel when toxic fumes from burnt fuel leak from broken canisters. The fumes escape into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong fuel smell is one of the more dangerous symptoms of a broken fuel canister, as it can make people sick if left unresolved. Despite this, a strong fuel smell is also a symptom of a fuel leak, a fuel pump leak, or a leak in your vehicle&rsquo;s evaporative emission control system. Keep this in mind when inspecting your vehicle for signs you need to get your charcoal canister replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increased Emissions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The charcoal canister is responsible for eliminating toxic carbon compounds and preventing them from entering the atmosphere. If it fails, the vehicle&rsquo;s emissions increase. It&rsquo;s why something might be wrong with your charcoal canister if your vehicle starts failing emissions tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lit Check Engine Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to tell if something is wrong with your charcoal canister is to see if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/check-engine-light-flashing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"check engine light is on\">check engine light is on<\/a>. However, remember that a lit check engine light doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean there&rsquo;s something wrong with the charcoal canister, so you&rsquo;ll have to confirm the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Does A Charcoal Canister Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vapor-charcoal-canister-replacement-1024x602.jpg\" alt=\"vapor charcoal canister replacement\" class=\"wp-image-85646\" style=\"width:1024px;height:602px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vapor-charcoal-canister-replacement-1024x602.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vapor-charcoal-canister-replacement-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vapor-charcoal-canister-replacement-768x452.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vapor-charcoal-canister-replacement-1536x904.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vapor-charcoal-canister-replacement-150x88.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/vapor-charcoal-canister-replacement.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Charcoal canisters can last as long as your vehicle with proper maintenance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Charcoal canisters can last as long as your vehicle with proper maintenance.
