Geonovast Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 The one in my J10 was identical to a soup can... and I believe it was factory.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneck23ms Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 can the canister be done away with if one is no longer using it for the fuel tank vents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 the canister stores vacuum energy for the HVAC system. The charcoal canister is what absorbs fumes from the gas tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck23ms Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 doh. i was thinking of the charcoal canister. i already have the vac. can under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Some of the older Renix cannisters had two ports w. a built-in check valve; my 91 had the football cannister w. one port and w/o a check valve. Simple answer - replace/relocate w. a similar reservoir to what you have. But unless you have devices besides the normal HVAC controls, like cruise or other devices that need more vacuum, any single port tank will work just fine as long as there is a check valve either inline or built-in the tank.

akamcbird Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 well i guess i need more explanation of how it works. i was hopping to be able to replace it with something that wasnt a car part and have something different. i could get another oe unit but I'm tryin to be cool. lost it a few days ago and aside from the idle being a little off it hasnt caused me much grief .
