Dodge Stratus Evap system

The Dodge Stratus's evaporative emission control (EVAP) system is designed to prevent fuel vapor from escaping into the atmosphere. It captures and stores fuel vapors from the fuel tank in a charcoal canister, which are later purged and burned in the engine during combustion. Common components of the EVAP system include the fuel tank, charcoal canister, purge valve, and various hoses and sensors. Issues with the EVAP system can lead to check engine lights and increased emissions, often identified through diagnostic trouble codes.
