EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Crankcase Emission Control System
The concentration of hydrocarbons in the crankcase of an engine is much greater than that in the vehicle's exhaust
system. In order to prevent the emission of these hydrocarbons into the atmosphere, crankcase emission control
systems are employed and are a standard legal requirement.
The crankcase ventilation system is an integral part of the air supply to the engine combustion chambers and it is
often overlooked when diagnosing problems associated with engine performance. A blocked ventilation pipe or filter
or excessive air leak into the inlet system through a damaged pipe or a leaking gasket can affect the air:fuel mixture,
performance and efficiency of the engine. Periodically check the ventilation hoses are not cracked and that they are
securely fitted to form airtight connections at their relevant ports.
The purpose of the crankcase ventilation system is to ensure that any noxious gas generated in the engine crankcase
is rendered harmless by complete burning of the fuel in the combustion chamber. Burning the crankcase vapours in
a controlled manner decreases the HC pollutants that could be emitted and helps to prevent the development of
sludge in the engine oil as well as increasing fuel economy.
A spiral oil separator is located in the stub pipe to the ventilation hose on the right hand cylinder head rocker cover,
where oil is separated and returned to the cylinder head. The rubber ventilation hose from the right hand rocker cover
is routed to a port on the right hand side of the inlet manifold plenum chamber where the returned gases mix with the
fresh inlet air passing through the throttle butterfly valve. The stub pipe on the left hand rocker cover does not contain
an oil separator, and the ventilation hose is routed to the throttle body housing at the air inlet side of the butterfly valve.
The ventilation hoses are attached to the stub pipe by metal band clamps.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-15
Evaporative Emission Control System
The evaporation emission control (EVAP) system is used to reduce the level of hydrocarbons emitted into the
atmosphere from the fuel system. The system comprises an EVAP canister which stores the hydrocarbons from the
fuel tank, pressure valves, vent lines and a purge control solenoid valve.
Fuel vapour is stored in the canister until it is ready to be purged to the inlet manifold under the control of the Engine
Control Module (ECM).
A two-way valve is included in the vent line between the fuel tank and the EVAP canister in all markets except NAS.
A fuel vapour separator is fitted next to the fuel filler neck, the construction is different between NAS and ROW
vehicles; the liquid vapour separator (LVS) on NAS vehicles is an L-shaped metal tube and for all other markets it is
an integral part of the moulded plastic filler neck.

+ FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
NAS vehicles have stainless steel filler necks whilst all other markets use moulded plastic filler necks. On NAS fillers,
a valve closes the roll-over valve (ROV) vent line when the fuel filler cap is removed; for all other markets a pressure
relief valve is fitted into the ROV vent line.

+ FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Four ROV's are fitted to the fuel tank, for NAS vehicles the valves are fitted inside the fuel tank and for ROW vehicles
the ROV's are welded external to the fuel tank. Nylon vent lines from the ROV's connect to the liquid vapour separator
allowing vapour to pass to the EVAP canister via the LVS. To prevent the canister from being overloaded (particularly
in hot ambient conditions) and to prevent wastage of fuel, the vapour is allowed to condense within the LVS and flow
back through the ROVs into the tank.

+ FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Pressure / vacuum relief valves are incorporated into the fuel filler cap which operate in the event of an evaporation
system failure (e.g. blockage in the evaporation system line to atmosphere). The cap relieves fuel tank pressure to
atmosphere at approximately 1.8 to 2.0 psi (12 to 14 kPa) and opens in the opposite direction at approximately – 0.7
psi (- 5kPa) vacuum. All plastic bodied fuel fillers are fitted with a tank overpressure relief valve.
A vent line flow restrictor (anti-trickle valve) is fitted to the filler pipe in the line between the tank and the canister on
NAS vehicles. The purpose of the anti-trickle valve is to preserve the vapour space in the tank by blocking the vent
line during the fuel filling process. The valve is operated by the action of inserting the filler gun, so that when the fuel
in the tank reaches the level of the filling breather, flow cut off occurs due to fuel filling the filler pipe.

+ FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
The breather ports from the EVAP canister are located high up in the engine bay (CVS unit on NAS vehicles with
vacuum type, fuel evaporation leak detection capability; via an air filter on NAS vehicles with positive pressure type,
fuel evaporation leak detection capability; snorkel tubes on ROW vehicles), to prevent water ingress during vehicle
wading.

The ECM connectors and pins which are pertinent to evaporative emission control are listed in the following table:
Fuel Leak Detection System (vacuum type) – NAS only
The advanced evaporative loss control system equipped with a vacuum type, fuel evaporation leak detection
capability is similar to the standard evaporative loss system, but also includes additional components to enable the
engine control module (ECM) to perform a fuel evaporation leak detection test. The system includes an EVAPs
canister and purge valve, and in addition, a canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve and a fuel tank pressure sensor.
The function of the CVS valve is to block the atmospheric vent side of the EVAP canister under the control of the ECM
so that an evaporation system leak check can be performed. The test is carried out when the vehicle is stationary and
the engine is running at idle speed. The system test uses the natural rate of fuel evaporation and engine manifold
depression. Failure of the leak check will result in illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
The fuel evaporation leak detection is part of the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) strategy and it is able to determine
vapour leaks from holes or breaks greater than 1 mm (0.04 in.) in diameter. Any fuel evaporation system leaks which
occur between the output of the purge valve and the connection to the inlet manifold cannot be determined using this
test, but these will be detected through the fuelling adaption diagnostics.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-17
Fuel Leak Detection System (positive pressure type) – NAS only
The evaporative loss control system equipped with a positive pressure type, fuel evaporation leak detection capability
is similar to the vacuum type, but it is capable of detecting smaller leaks by placing the evaporation system under the
influence of positive air pressure. The system includes an EVAPs canister and purge valve, and in addition, a leak
detection pump comprising a motor and solenoid valve.
The solenoid valve contained in the leak detection pump assembly performs a similar function to the CVS valve
utilised on the vacuum type pressure test. The solenoid valve is used to block the atmospheric vent side of the EVAP
canister under the control of the ECM so that an EVAP system leak check can be performed. At the same time,
pressurised air from the pump is allowed past the valve into the EVAP system to set up a positive pressure. The test
is carried out at the end of a drive cycle when the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched off. The test is
delayed for a brief period (approximately 10 seconds) after the engine is switched off to allow any slosh in the fuel
tank to stabilise. Component validity checks and pressure signal reference checking takes a further 10 seconds before
the pressurised air is introduced into the EVAP system.
During reference checking, the purge valve is closed and the leak detection pump solenoid valve is not energised,
while the leak detection pump is operated. The pressurised air is bypassed through a restrictor which corresponds to
a 0.5 mm (0.02 in) leak while the current consumption of the leak detection pump motor is monitored.
The system test uses the leak detection pump to force air into the EVAP system when the purge valve and solenoid
valves are both closed (solenoid valve energised), to put the evaporation lines, components and fuel tank under the
influence of positive air pressure. Air is drawn into the pump through an air filter which is located in the engine
compartment.
The fuel leak detection pump current consumption is monitored by the ECM while the EVAP system is under pressure,
and compared to the current noted during the reference check. A drop in the current drawn by the leak detection pump
motor, indicates that air is being lost through holes or leaks in the system which are greater than the reference value
of 0.5 mm (0.02 in). An increase in the current drawn by the leak detection pump motor, indicates that the EVAP
system is well sealed and that there are no leaks present which are greater than 0.5 mm (0.02 in).
The presence of leakage points indicates the likelihood of hydrocarbon emissions to atmosphere from the
evaporation system outside of test conditions and the necessity for rectification work to be conducted to seal the
system. Failure of the leak check will result in illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
The fuel evaporation leak detection is part of the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) strategy and it is able to determine
vapour leaks from holes or breaks down to 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) diameter. Any fuel evaporation leaks which occur
between the output of the purge valve and the connection to the inlet manifold cannot be determined using this test,
but these will be detected through the fuelling adaption diagnostics.
