2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty Vapor Canister Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Working with the Vapor Canister to Minimize the Risk of Explosion or Fire on 2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty?

  A: The safety risk from evaporative emissions system contents warrants that the battery ground cable should get disconnected to prevent electrical sparks from igniting fuel vapor or liquid. The use of open flames together with smoking must be avoided near fuel components because they contain explosive mixtures. Vehicles with a midship fuel tank need to start on a hoist while in NEUTRAL gear before removing both spare tire and carrier extension tube. To replace the EVAP canister assembly you must disconnect the spare tire carrier assembly retainer of the EVAP canister vent solenoid electrical harness before removing the two EVAP assembly bracket bolts which should be tighted to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) when reinstalling. After removing the four spare tire carrier assembly bolts you should tighten their reinstallations to 150 Nm (111 lb-ft). The technician should disconnect the EVAP canister vent solenoid electrical connector followed by removing the fuel vapor tube quick connect coupling from the EVAP canister and the fuel vapor vent hose from the dust separator. The EVAP canister assembly of midship fuel tank equipped vehicles requires removal of its two bolts while securing them to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) torque specifications. The EVAP canister assembly of aft-of-axle fuel tank equipped vehicles requires removal of four bolts which should be tightened to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) during reinstallation. The clamps on the EVAP canister assembly need to be removed as well. When working with vehicles that have auxiliary fuel tanks, technicians must uninstall the four EVAP canister assembly bolts securing the bracket before torquing them to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft). The midship fuel tank equipped vehicles need the EVAP canister bracket assembly placed on a clean work surface followed by disconnecting the EVAP canister vent solenoid-to-EVAP canister hose then removing the EVAP canister assembly from its bracket. Workers should place the EVAP canister bracket assembly on a clean work surface before they remove the EVAP filter assembly-to-EVAP canister tube quick connect coupling which allows them to extract the EVAP canister assembly from the bracket for both aft-of-axle and auxiliary fuel tank equipped vehicles. Installation requires you to follow the reversal of the removal steps after completing the evaporative emission system leak check and the evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle.
