what is the EVAP Canister?
what is it? what does it do, and why would i need to relocate it?:thinking:

It contains charcoal that catches and filters particles that emit from your Jeep, per vehicle regulations. You need it to keep your Jeep street legal and to help curb emissions. You need to relocate it if you wheel on the rocks a lot because it hangs down and can easily get pulled off or damaged.
Here is a dangling evap canistor after being pulled off by a rock: http://www.project-jk.com/gallery2/m...serialNumber=2 |
well then
i gues i need to add that to my growing list of stuff.

Great info - This year I've got to get under mine more and check thing's out.

just remember that relocating the evap canister will likely void your warranty. The evap canister being hit is an extremely rare occurrence. Unless you add skid plates everywhere, everything that's under your jeep has a chance to be hit and damaged. Your best option if the evap canister is a concern, is to get a skid plate for it, this way you protect it and keep your warranty intact.

i have the same problem i was wheeln and a stick jammed throught the front. luckly my brother in law works at chrylsler as a mechanic and he said if i brought the relocation bracket it wouldnt void the warranty.

According to my Jeep Tech. guy, i did not void the warranty on mine as he looked over the relocation and loved how it was done. Did it at the same time as replacing mine after killing it on a rock.
