Airborne Janitor Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Pulled the charcoal canister from my MJ after realizing that there is a filter replacement for it, WIX 42998. Pulling the old filter is as easy as popping off the bottom cap and physically pulling the filter out. Installation is just shoving the new filter in there. Very easy and inexpensive service job, especially if your filter is 30+ years old. I did get curious and cut apart one of the spare cannisters I had just to see what's inside. I made an entire YouTube video about it that gives you more info than you'll ever need to know about these things. Be forewarned, I do cuss a lot. CLIFF NOTES: There's charcoal in there, and a couple foam screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Yeah this is good info. I didn’t know there was a new filter. We all should probably change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keri Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Awesome f***ing video!!! ;-) What is connected to the bottom of the Charcoal canister? I am chasing the issue of my A/C leaking into my 1987 Comanche's passenger floor board and have been hunting the A/C drain and just cannot find it! It appears to be connected to the bottom of the canister?????? Maybe I am super crazy or maybe it is supposed to be like that or maybe the previous PO did it but for the life of me, I cannot understand what is going on down there. Thanks again for the video. I watched the entire thing and will def put that on my long list of things to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Janitor Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Saw you got your answer on another post, but there's nothing but a tube that hangs off the bottom of the canister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
