Charcoal Canister Off-Now What
i am slowly bringing my 1986 Jeep CJ7 up to snuff. Today's project
besides taking care of my kids is service of the canister. I got it
off and there was filter at the botton looked like wall insulation VERY
dirty & dry...it's gone now!
Now what do I do the whole unit is solid right...is there any other
service or cleaning for it. I have heard of guys boiling the charcoal
to recharge it but again how do you get it out.
I took the one cap off and cleaned those components (spring etc)
Now what??
Oh yeah the only like of the 4 not connected was PCV..can I just slap a
"T" in the line running off the PCV and re-attach it.

Re: Charcoal Canister Off-Now What
The filter is called an emissions or evaporative system filter and costs
a couple bucks at most auto stores.
The reason the PCV might be off is because it has a blown purge valve on
top. If so when you T it to the PCV line the idle might go nuts. If
the idle stays stable, no problems.
There used to be a solenoid thing on the PCV line behind the carb that
also went to the canister. Maybe it is just disconnected because the
solenoid failed. They are garbage anyway and should be replaced with a
T.

Re: Charcoal Canister Off-Now What
It does have that valve on top with the spring underneath it which I
disassembeld and cleaned etc..So I'll try to reconnect the PCV with T &
see what happens as for the cannister itself is there any maintenance
for it?
