What is the importance of periodically checking the evaporative canister and its connecting lines on Buick Century and Regal?

The vapor canister, which prevents the release of unburned fuel vapors into the atmosphere, became standard equipment starting in 1970. Periodically, it's important to check the canister connecting lines for kinks or other damage and deterioration. Lines should only be replaced with quality fuel line or special hose marked "EVAP". On 1975-85 models, the filter in the bottom of the carbon canister should be removed and replaced every 24 months or 30,000 miles (48,000 km). However, on 1986-87 models, replacement is not necessary unless the filter becomes visibly clogged.

Buick Century Vapor Canister

Vapor Canister found in Buick Century vehicles is a component of the evaporative emissions control system commonly referred to as EVAP that is used to minimize the emission of Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions into the atmosphere. The charcoal canister is precisely this container, filled with activated charcoal with huge surface area to accommodate fuel vapors alongside tiny pores which adsorb the fuel vapors as it starts accumulating it, to release it to the engine when required. The canister is linked to the fuel tank and carburetor so that the fuel vapors when opened are allowed in through the engine with the help of the idle air control valve and air intake. In the present day's modern OBD II cars however, extra parts in the circuit such as the canister vent solenoid and the fuel tank pressure sensor are incorporated into the system as diagnostic components to help in detecting any leak in the system. III: The purpose of the Vapor Canister is to fight pollution and to guarantee the activity of the automobile's emissions control system.

Each OEM Buick Century Vapor Canister we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
