Digsy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) This is a bit annoying considering I have a Supra sat at home that I could measure, but I need to know the size of the carbon canister today. Would it be possible for someone to do a very rough sketch with the main depth, width and height dimensions, and also the approx radii on the corners because from memory its kind of bathub shaped (shows how long its been since I opened the bonnet!) Basically I need to work out the physical volume of one as accurately as possible to estimate the amount of carbon inside. This is for a work thing so I'll be very grateful if someone can help out today (please ) Edited February 16, 2012 by Digsy To add the magic word.

Lude Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 no offence, but why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 From the physical size you can work out the amount of carbon inside. From the amount of carbon you can work out the amoutn of vapour it can absorb and then compare that to a calculation based on the fuel tank size to see if the canister is big enough. I'm benchmarking carbon canisters from vehicles of different ages to see how the trend in size develops as emissions regs change, and also to see how closely the calculation reflects what is used in production.

sideexitsupra Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 In the nicest possible way, it sounds like you should get out more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, sometimes this is what designing engines for OEMs is like. However I suspect that a 2Fast2Furious style bikini party is being held right outside the ride and handling department as I type this.

pedrosixfour Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Digsy, the rough dimensions are: Width: 130mm Depth: 100mm Height: 170mm Corners are radiused to approximately 25mm One bottom corner has been flattened to allow fitting. The chamfer extends from one corner to approximately half way down the opposite side. And extends about 75mm up the side of the canister.
