Removal the fuel vapor recovery system canister (Chevrolet Lanos T150)

We remove the fuel vapor recovery system adsorber for inspection or replacement if the adsorber housing is not sealed properly (can be determined by the presence of the smell of gasoline and by visual inspection).

If the adsorber is damaged or overfilled, unstable engine operation at idle and engine stalling, increased levels of harmful substances in the exhaust gases, as well as reduced fuel efficiency and deterioration in the vehicle's driving performance are possible.

The adsorber is installed under the bottom at the rear of the vehicle.



Using a 10 mm head, unscrew the bolt securing the adsorber to the bottom bracket of the body…



…and, moving the adsorber along the guides, we lower it.



Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the six screws securing the casing cover..





…and remove the lid.



By squeezing the clamps, we disconnect the tip of the tube for removing fuel vapors from the adsorber to the electromagnetic purge valve from the fitting.



Similarly, we disconnect the tip of the tube supplying vapors to the adsorber from the fuel tank from the other fitting.



Using pliers, loosen the clamp securing the atmospheric tube and remove it from the adsorber fitting.





We remove the adsorber from the protective casing.

We install the adsorber in the reverse order.
