When it comes to vehicle emissions, one of the most overlooked yet crucial components is the Evaporative Emissions System Leak Detection Pump. Whether you’re driving a compact sedan or a high-performance Audi, this small but mighty component plays a huge role in reducing pollution and protecting your wallet from costly repairs. At BS Auto Supplies, we believe in educating car owners on how parts like the leak detection pump are essential for both environmental and mechanical health. Gasoline vapors are kept from escaping into the atmosphere by your car's Evaporative Emissions System (EVAP). It traps and recycles these vapors, reducing harmful emissions. Increased emissions, reduced fuel economy, and failed inspections could result from a broken EVAP system.
The Evaporative Emissions System Leak Detection Pump (LDP) is the system’s watchdog. Its job is to pressurize the fuel system and identify any leaks that could be releasing gas vapors into the air. Without this pump, you might never know there's a problem until it's too late. The leak detection pump works by pressurizing the EVAP system and monitoring pressure changes. If the system cannot maintain pressure, it means there is a leak—no matter how small. The onboard diagnostics (OBD) system then triggers a check engine light, warning you of a potential emission issue. If you drive a vehicle like an Audi, or any car from the last two decades, chances are high your system relies on an EVAP leak detection pump.
