| Summary: | |||
| This is industry’s first carbon canister with an extruded housing that can be cut to length to accommodate different carbon load rates without re-tooling the part. The unique linear canister design has higher carbon efficiency (fewer dead zones) and a spring plate assembly that maintains carbon pack, plus evaporative emissions are reduced by using a lower permeation rate material, reducing carbon waste, component mass (1.5 lb / vehicle), plus material, warranty, and tooling-avoidance costs. | |||
