  Q: How to Service and Repair the Vapor Canister on Ford Freestyle?

  A: Safety must be ensured when repairing the evaporative emission control canister by eliminating both smoking habits and electronic device usage near fuel-related components since flammable vapors present an explosion hazard. The removal of the battery ground cable will decrease the likelihood of electrical sparks. The EVAP canister vent solenoid electrical connector and both fuel vapor tubes-to-EVAP canister and front fuel vapor tube-to-dust separator need to be disconnected on a vehicle that is in NEUTRAL position and on a hoist. However, EVAP canister installation needs begin by removing the two retaining nuts and bolts which should be torqued to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) upon final installation. The removal of the EVAP canister begins by releasing three wire harness pushpin retainers which allow for EVAP canister extraction. The installation requires reversing the removal steps together with leak testing and applying the required evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle.
