Introduction to Qute BS-IV:

BS (Bharat Stage)-IV is an emission norms specified by Government of India to regulate the air pollutants
coming from internal combustion engine
To achieve BS-IV norms following Changes have been incorporated in Qute BS-IV (Gasoline) vehicles:
1. Fuel system venting through EVAP system which consists of following:
a. Non-vented Fuel cap
b. EVAP emission control system comprising of parts such as Canister, ECU operated Purge
control valve and one-way Valve (ROV)
c. Fuel system vented through canister vent ports.
d. Manual throttle body with provision to connect pipe from purge valve

3. Silencer assembly is with Twin CAT.

4. Changes in Technical Specifications:

Max. Engine Output 09.70 kW at 5500 RPM

Max. Torque 18.90 Nm at 4000 RPM
Unladen Mass/ Kerb Weight 464 Kgs
Gross Vehicle Weight 764 Kgs
Overall Length 2752 mm
Rear Overhang 440 mm

EVAP system parts location on Vehicle:

Working Principle of EVAP System

Fuel vapours from the fuel tank passes through a passage (duct). This passage aids in breathing as well as
passing HC vapours to canister. The one-way valve (ROV) ensures vapours flow from passage to the canister.
Canister acts as storage for these vapours and these vapours purged into the engine in-take manifold through
electrically operated purge valve

Description of EVAP Components:

Purge Valve
A purge valve is the part of the vehicle Evaporative Emission Control
(EVAP) system.
The EVAP system prevents fuel vapours in the fuel tank from escaping
into the atmosphere. The EVAP system traps fuel vapours from the fuel
tank and temporarily stores them in the charcoal canister.

When the engine is running under certain conditions, the fuel vapours
are purged from the canister and burned inside the engine.

The purge valve precisely controls amount of fuel vapours to be purged

from canister to in-take manifold upon receiving a signal from ECU

Canister is filled with about a pound or two of activated charcoal. The charcoal acts like a sponge and
absorbs and stores fuel vapours. The vapours are stored in the canister until the engine starts, gets warm
and being driven.

Key Maintenance Tips:

 Ensure there is no mud/dirt accumulated on ‘AIR’OR ‘DRAIN’ nozzles of canister.
 In case of mud / dirt deposition - Remove mud & clean with dry air/lint free clean cloth
 Never use any liquid to clean/remove dust from canister nozzles, which could enter canister nozzles
during servicing.

One-way valve (ROV)

One-way Valve:

Ensures flow of fuel vapour from fuel tank to canister.

‘TOP’ marking on ROV should face upwards. Reverse fitment will affect
fuel system venting.
