2008 Lincoln Town Car Vapor Canister Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Vapor Canister on 2008 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The first part of repairing an evaporative emission control canister involves hoisting the vehicle to neutral position with a battery ground cable disconnect. Remove all dirt and foreign material from the evap canister vent solenoid electrical connector as well as its surrounding area before working on its connector. The service involves drilling through the center areas of existing evap canister rivets for future new rivet installation during reassembly. The next step is to disconnect the quick connect coupling of the evap canister vapor tube between the fuel vapor tube assembly and the dust separator vent tube. Extract the evap canister by removing its two nuts and replace it with a new unit which should be secured with a torque of 6 Nm (53 lb-in). Complete the task by reversing all removal steps and perform the evaporative emission system leak test.
