Yes, low-quality o r adulterated fuel in Pakistan can harm the purge control valve and the entire EVAP evaporative emissions system. Contaminants in fuel can:

Cause carbon buildup o r debris to clog the valve.

Damage the rubber o r plastic components inside the valve.

Disrupt the fuel vapor flow, leading to erratic engine behavior.

Fuel that lacks proper additives o r has water o r kerosene mixed in a problem in some areas may leave residue in the vapor lines and purge system. To avoid this:

Use fuel from reputable stations.

Periodically use a fuel system cleaner.

Replace the purge valve and related hoses if contamination is severe.
