Honda CR-V: Evaporative Emissions Control System
As gasoline evaporates in the fuel
tank, an evaporative emissions
control canister filled with charcoal
adsorbs the vapor. It is stored in this
canister while the engine is off. After
the engine is started and warmed up,
the vapor is drawn into the engine
and burned during driving.

The three way catalytic converter
contains precious metals that serve
as catalysts, promoting chemical
reactions to convert the exhaust

The catalytic converter is referred to
as a three-way catalyst, since it acts
on HC, CO, and NOx. A replacement
