• Q: How to Service and Repair the Vapor Canister on 2000 Ford Expedition?

  A: The first step in servicing the evaporative emission control canister should include disconnecting the battery ground cable to reduce the potential for fuel vapor fires or explosions. Lift the vehicle off the ground before breaking the electrical connection associated with the evaporative emissions canister vent solenoid. Open the clamp then eliminate the evaporative emission purge outlet tube and then unscrew the nuts to detach the canister assembly and bracket. The removal of a bolt allows workers to detach the EVAP canister from its bracket position so they can slide off the retainer. To remove the evaporative emissions canister vent solenoid begin by inspecting its O-ring then replace it if needed through a twisting and pulling removal process. After removing the canister inlet fitting evaluate its O-rings then substitute those that require replacement by utilizing a twisting and pulling motion. During installment reverse the previous disassembly steps followed by a system leak check. Perform the evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle as the last step. The installation of O-ring seals requires MERPOL(R) O-ring Seal Lubricant or an equivalent substance which fulfills Ford specification ESE-M99B144-B.
