Fuel tank ventilation — general information (Skoda Octavia 1U)

The ventilation system complies with the latest engine-building standards in its design. The fuel tank communicates with the atmosphere through a tank with activated carbon, which absorbs gasoline vapors. The control unit controls the electromagnetic valve for ventilation of the tank with activated carbon. From there, gasoline vapors are discharged into the combustion chamber during engine operation and burned. Air is supplied by the electromagnetic valve in such a quantity that the tank is cleaned, but at the same time it does not have a negative effect on engine operation.
