Hi does anyone know what this is?

Thank you for the comments

Okey, thank you for the comment.

I found out that the charcoal canister is a device that:
Captures fuel vapors and prevents them from escaping to the atmosphere and then stores the fumes and recycles them to the fuel tank or engine intake for combustion as needed is this correct?


Is it possible to overhaul the charcoal canister if so how?
How can i check if this thing is working properly.

Say if there was something wrong with the charcoal canister could this thing make the engine chase when it is cold and the auto chuck is in?

i apologize if the information is wrong, or for any spelling mistakes.

Cheers
