  Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken with the Vapor Canister to Prevent Explosion or Fire on Mercury Monterey?

  A: Fuel vapor contained in the evaporative emission system presents an explosion risk so technicians should disconnect the battery ground cable to prevent electrical sparks that can ignite vapor. Audits show that it is essential to stay away from all fuel-related components when using open flames or carriages lighted tobacco products and also prohibiting the usage of personal electronic devices and smoking. Start with a vehicle embedded in NEUTRAL on a hoist then remove the battery ground cable from the unit. The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister needs four mounting bolts removal before lowering the assembly to reveal the EVAP tube quick connect couplings. Unplug the two connections of the EVAP quick connect couplings before removing the EVAP canister. When installing the parts use reverse steps from removal while securing the mounting bolts to 7 Nm tightness (62 lb-in). The repair verification drive cycle with evaporative emission testing must follow the leak test after component installation.
