In a 2011 Buick Regal, the EVAP canister (also called the purge valve) is positioned on the driver side firewall to the left of the brake booster and master cylinder. This canister contains activated charcoal that captures your car's emissions to benefit the environment and your health. If the canister malfunctions, you may detect a fuel or rotten egg odor inside the car, which is harmful to breathe and can lead to emissions test failure and potential ticketing. If you notice these signs or receive a trouble code, it's important to promptly take your car to a repair shop.
The purge valve of the 2011 Buick Regal can be found in the vacuum hose that connects the fuel vapor storage canister to the intake manifold.
