• Q: How to Service and Repair the Vapor Canister on 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A: Start the evaporative emission control canister repair only after you put the vehicle into NEUTRAL position on a hoist. The battery ground cable need disconnecting to eliminate electrical sparks since the EVAP system stores flammable fuel vapor. Keep all areas smoking-free and completely free from open flames during the work process. Vapor hoses should only receive water-based lubrication for their operation. Once the fuel tank is removed you can reach the EVAP canister through which you will reach the quick connect coupling by detaching the canister from the fuel tank. The service procedure starts with disconnecting the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor and tube assembly from the EVAP canister and then proceeding with disconnecting the vapor hose. Reverse the installation procedure and use a water-based lubricant to prepare vapor hoses for easy assembly of the EVAP canister. The EVAP system requires a leak test following installation together with running the evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle.
