• Q: How to install a Vapor Canister assembly on 2008 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: The first installation step for the charcoal canister assembly involves connecting the fuel tank vent hose by aligning the connector with the pipe while pushing it until the "click" sound indicates proper connection. Before continuing check the disconnected parts have no scratches or foreign objects then verify the quick connector connection. Fit the charcoal canister by securing it with one bolt and two nuts reaching a torque value of 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf) and then combine the EVAP tube with its connector. Install charcoal canister filter No. 2 with a nut that requires 20 Nm torquing force (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf) before linking the breather hose to the charcoal canister followed by clamping the hose before connecting the hose to the pipe and EVAP pipe to the clamp. Fasten the ABS wire harness clamp using a bolt with 14 Nm torque level (142 kgf-cm or 10 ft-lbf). Record the fuel tank assembly following its connection with the fuel tank main tube along with the fuel tank return tube for a torque sequence of 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf). Then attach the cable to the negative battery terminal. Finally, check for fuel leakage.
