The 2008 Cadillac DTS purge valve is positioned on a vacuum line above the evap canister, which is a component of the emissions system. The canister stores activated charcoal that purifies and traps fuel and other vehicle emissions. The cleaned emissions exit through the purge valve. While some people consider these two parts as one and use the terms interchangeably, they are distinct components. If your car emits fuel odors, it is essential to inspect the system. Inhaling these fumes is harmful and detrimental to the environment. While immediate action is not necessary, addressing the issue promptly is advisable.
