What is a fuel evaporative canister and how does it work?

The fuel evaporative (EVAP) canister is an emission control device that traps vapors coming from the fuel tank and sends them back to the tank to be used later. Gasoline that is allowed to evaporate into the atmosphere is not only wasted, but adds emissions that are bad for the environment and harmful to humans. The EVAP canister allows the fuel tank to be vented so that pressure does not build up inside, while at the same time preventing the gasoline vapors from escaping. Known also through the years as a “vapor canister” or “charcoal canister”, this filter is connected to the fuel tank with a tube. As the gasoline evaporates inside of the tank, the vapors are collected in the tube and sent to the canister where they are absorbed by activated carbon, or charcoal. The fuel is stored there until it is drawn back out by the engine through a series of valves.

How is a a Fuel Evaporative Canister Replacement done?

The fuel evaporative canister is usually located underneath a vehicle, somewhere near the fuel tank. To replace the canister, a mechanic will likely need to safely lift and support your vehicle off of the ground for access. From there, the process is similar on most vehicle makes and models and includes the following:

Remove any shields, guards, skid plates, or other components covering the EVAP canister
Disconnect the vent hoses and harness wires that lead to the canister
Unbolt the fasteners that mount the canister to the vehicle body or frame
Dislodge the bad canister from its mounting location and fasten a new one in its place
Connect the hoses and harness
Reinstall the components removed for access
Clear the diagnostic codes from the vehicle’s computer
