Emission Control System In the Interest of Clean Afr How Emission Control Works Pollution of our environment is of increasing concern to all ol us. We urge you to join us in our efforts for cleaner air in controlling the pollutants emitted from the automobile.
Crankcase Ventilation Through crankcase ventilation harmful emissions from the engine crankcase are not permitted lo reach the outside atmosphere. These emissions are recirculated to the air cleaner. From here the emissions mix with the air/ fuel mixture in the intake system and are later burned in the engine (see illustration). Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) / Some of the exhaust gas from the engine is diverted before it enters the muffler. This gas is routed back into the intake manifold.
Fuel Evaporation Control The sealed Volkswagen luel evaporation system prevents gasoline vapors Irom escaping to the atmosphere through the following controls: Fuel tank venting A separator for the fuel tank and vent lines are part ol the fuel tank vent system These components prevent luel from escaping to the outside at extreme high outside temperatures and when the car is driven or parked at an incline or in any other non-level position.
