2001 Ford F-150 Vapor Canister Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Vapor Canister on 2001 Ford F-150?

  A: Disconnection of the battery ground cable must be the first step when servicing the evaporative emission control canister because it reduces both fuel vapor-related fire risk and explosion potential. First lift the vehicle and support it while separating the electrical connection to the canister vent solenoid. The service technician must begin by removing all canister securing bolts then disconnect the canister vent solenoid hose assembly for lowering the bracket along with the canister. You can detach the EVAP canister purge outlet tube by sliding the clamp out of position while also removing the tube connection. After removing the canister vent solenoid you should disconnect the evaporative emissions canister. The installation follows opposite steps to removal with a leak test of the system required before performing the Evaporative Emission Repair Verification Drive Cycle. Before assembly use MERPOL(R) O-ring Seal Lubricant which complies with Ford specification ESE-M99B144-B or an equivalent product to lubricate all O-rings.
