ABSTRACT:
The emission control system of the present invention removes the small amounts of polluting gases released from various parts of the automobile. These polluting gases are released from, for example, fuel oozing out from connections of the pipes in the fuel system, lubricating oil oozing out from engine body, and solvents and adhesives remaining in the interior and exterior parts of the automobile. In the emission control system of the present invention, collectors and suction pipes are provided. The collectors are disposed at the parts of the automobile from where the polluting gases are released in such a manner that the collectors enclose these parts. The suction pipes connect the respective collectors to an intake nose of an air cleaner disposed in an intake air passage of the engine. Therefore, the polluting gases released from various parts of the automobile are drawn into the engine through the respective suction pipes before they diffuse into the atmosphere, and are burned in the engine. Thus, according to the present invention, the polluting gases released from various parts of the automobile are prevented from diffusing into the atmosphere.
