• Q: How to remove the Vapor Canister on 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser?

  A: Before removing the Evaporative Emission Control Canister you need to discharge fuel system pressure. The negative battery terminal cable needs to be disconnected as the next step. Starting with charcoal canister assembly removal requires the disconnect of the fuel tank breather tube from the fuel tank through deep insert and portion A pinch followed by connector extraction. Any foreign objects and dirt must be cleared out from the fuel tank vent hose connector prior to starting work because the O-ring on the pipe works as a sealing unit. The parts should be handled without scratches or foreign materials while disconnecting the fuel tank vent hose connector. The task must be completed manually without tools while restraining all bending or twisting movements of the nylon tube. A vinyl bag should be used to defend the fuel tank vent hose after you disconnect it. Pushing and pulling helps to open the stuck fuel vent connector and pipe. Continue by disconnecting the No. 2 canister outlet hose sub-assembly in a similar fashion until the connector as well as the EVAP hose are separated. The removal process ends with disconnecting the charcoal canister assembly by removing its three securing bolts.
