Why My 1979 Bronco Needs a Charcoal EVAP Canister

[@nelsonsantos770]

Thanks for all these KZbin videos! I managed to check my Kia Sorento 2011 V6 3.5L and found that charcoal from canister got sucked in and clogged the purge valve, and line going to canister. I finally removed the canister and foam/filters are all busted and got about 2 Cups of gasoline. I also cleaned the line using compressed air to be sure the line is completely void of charcoal pellets. Cut the canister open using heat gun, acetone and managed to cut it cleanly. Looking inside, all flimsy foams disintegrated that's why pellets are in the line. I checked the fuel line going to the tank to be sure it's not clogged either as I saw some after disconnecting the hoses. I'm rebuilding the canister as it will cost me about $320 and it's going to take awhile to arrive!

@@nelsonsantos770 its a good thing you checked your evap system out that could cause some damage. It's really pretty easy to rebuild these canisters and will save you a lot of money 💵💵

@@rharris7635 thank you for the comment! Glad to help out, let me know if you have any questions.

The permatex gasket maker actually helps seal and hold the whole canister together?

@@nelsonsantos770 so far it's held up great. I didn't want to use epoxy like the previous owner because I'd be afraid of damaging it when taking it apart in the future. The canisters for my Bronco are no longer in production so I would have to find one at a salvage yard.

HI thanks for the video, can you show better how the lines connect to the engine please.

[@jacobsupgrades]

I wish I could post photos in the comments. The best I describe is one line will be from the gas tank vent hard line running along the passenger side frame rail and subbing up under / near the alternator. The 2nd line will run to the carburetor bowl vent. The 3rd line which I'm missing I believe should connect to the vacuum amplifier, EGR valve, then Integral Transducer Backpressure EGR valve.

That's filter media, is that gasoline proof, meaning it doesn't disintegrate?

[@jacobsupgrades]

@@nelsonsantos770 if you use this activated carbon media pad it should be gasoline proof. amzn.to/3ZMNmIH Do you have a plastic filter similar to what I had to hold back the filter media and carbon? If not maybe you could make one out of a sand sifter or something similar.
