Charcoal canisters catch fuel vapours. Basically, fuel is a volatile liquid, thus vaporises easily. If you don't catch this vapour, you lose fuel. Apparently, in a vehicle without a charcoal canister, 25% of the hydrocarbon emissions stem from here. Not only does it help save the environment, but you save fuel! You will see that the other hose from the canister connects to the intake, so when the vehicle is running, the fuel vapour is burnt.

Being volatile has nothing to do with it vapourising easily, it vapourises or turns to gas easily because it has a low boiling point. Wink
