Vapor Cannister busted!

Post by Ken G. » Sat Jun 09, 2012 11:32 am

A tree branch went up thru the holes in my driver side skid plate and sheared off the hoses and busted the nipple fitting off the Cannister. No way to fix it without replacing it. I tried silicon and a zip tie....no dice. New one already on order. It doesn't effect drivability, unless I left it go for months. Just affects the emission system and makes my check gas cap idiot light illuminate.

Here's a pic of the damage...crazy, angle...sorry for the less than great image. A possible fix for the future might be attaching a piece of aluminum sheet to the skid plate, just below the cannister, in order to protect it from tree branches.

Not covered because it's not a factory defect!

If this light popped up @ Rausch I bet that got broke when that branch to shoved up your skid plate at the entrance to trail 23! It took quite a yank to get it out, so I assume it broke those lines off when it was going in. Sorry for the misfortune, but at least it is now something the rest of us can protect or remove.

Yep...I'm pretty sure that's when it happened! Million in one shot! Well, once I get the new one in, I figured out a way to slide a piece of diamond plate aluminum in below it and secure it with some bolts to the frame / skid plate. It will do the job for keeping more branches from accessing the box and hoses. When I do the mod, I'll post pics so others can do something similar if they desire.
