• Q: How to Service and Repair the Vapor Canister on 2006 Ford Mustang?

  A: Service and repairs of the evaporative emission control canister need to start with a vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist. A disconnect of the battery ground cable will help reduce electrical sparks to prevent dangerous fuel vapor ignition. The presence of highly flammable mixtures prevents using open flames and personal electronic items in the area and creates a strong need to avoid smoking. The maintenance procedure starts with removing the EVAP canister vent solenoid electrical connector and continuing with removing quick connect couplings from the EVAP canister vapor tube and the fuel vapor control tube assembly valve. Remove the vapor tube pin-type retainers that connect the EVAP canister brackets when needed before extracting the vapor tube from its frame attachment by untieing the retainer clip. The next step involves removing two retaining nuts and bolts securing the EVAP canister before installation when tightening them should reach 9 Nm (80 lb-in). Reinstall the EVAP canister after completing its removal by following the backward procedure. Before ending the procedure you must test for leaks in the evaporative emission system and run the evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle.
