QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Apr 24 2020, 08:12 AM)  QUOTE(JeffBowlsby @ Apr 24 2020, 09:58 AM) If your canister has 2 small ports, check them carefully. Seems to me I have seen them like that but one is not a port its solid. Function of the canister relies on intake airflow from the engine fan through the filter media, to the exit port back to the intake. Fuel vapors are just along fro the ride. Factory says replace the charcoal every 50K miles. Betty's car is about 350,000 miles overdue.... Where can the charcoal be purchased? Thought I read people were using fish aquarium charcoal and getting it through Amazon. I’m sure I read it here... |

Very easy to pop off the plastic cap and replace the charcoal. https://www.petsmart.com/fish/filters-and-p...OxoCM8IQAvD_BwE |
