Evap canister Solenoid / charcoal canister removal and installation. 2011-2016 f250. 6.2 gas

I literally just put a new charcoal canister on this truck at tops six months ago, so this is getting a little old. But I did learn some valuable things, mainly that you can a canister with a lifetime warranty! Also the electrical connection for the solenoid was the real problem because the connection was so corroded that the one spade was a gone!

A few tips for anyone watching.
The nipple on top you swapped from the old cannister to the new was tricky to remove. You need access to the inside where the 4 inner clips are. This means cracking open the small case with a flathead and hammer. Even then you need a second pair of hands to bend all 4 clips in at once and push it out.
Removal of the metal clips from the old canister takes a small flathead inserted in the hole and pry up on the bent portion of the inner metal piece.

Where would I be able to find the nipple piece? A dog chewed mine and having a hard time finding one

dielectric grease is your friend use it on o rings and electrical connections to prevent oxidation and corrosion...

To give you some insight to longevity, i have a 2012 6.2 F250, 234k miles with minimal repairs, alternator, front end parts, shocks and as you could guess by the video im commenting on, charcoal canister....

Clean up corrosion with baking soda and vinegar.

i have a 2020, f 250 4x4 6.2 motor thats shutting of the pump. dealer installed new charcoal canister. still shuts off the pump. they scratching their heads and say they never seen the new canister not work because its the updated one for the problem. i told them about all the videos on youtube. they acted like hell they never thought of that. i told them about the purge valve under the hood. pointed it out to them. they not sure they need to change it out. i told them to install an entire new system. gas tank, and every other part in the system including the harness system to it. its still under full warranty so i said its on the them. JMHO they just looked at me with the oh shit look. i told them i will post my thoughts about the problem and dealership on youtube. JMHO

Wish you showed when you took off the connectors, having a hard time taking it off

[@rosslovesboys]

We had to compress the fittings on each side with needle nose grip pliers to pull those bastards off.

[@Yasin_Abdul]

How did you know that was the problem? What code was you getting with the check engine light? I have a code that came up P1450 which I changed the Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Purge Control Valve and the check engine light is still on.

@jeremy fixit Where does the other end of the vent tube at 9:20 in the video go? I just bought a 2010 and that tube is just looped over the front axel and it looks to have ripped or been cut off by the previous owner. Thanks in advance!

Would you share the link to where you purchased your code reader?

I can't get the blue connecter off. It's the one above the red one. Any tips? The red one was easy. Do you have to pull on the blue one or just push it in like the red one

Dou you had any time delay in the gas refilling proces before replacing the selenoid?

[@lveneno2438]

@@Half_acre_farmer it seem like I have the same problem on my truck. That's the only problem. Runs fine with no problems it just throws 2 codes (p0451 and p1450)

[@lveneno2438]

@@Half_acre_farmer probably the same thing. I'll let you know if that was my problem

[@charlesturley3545]

I have the same issue, just no codes. I've been dealing with it for about 3 years. I turn the pump handle upside down and can typically get 2-15 gallons at a time. Sometimes it's 1 gallon at a time, haha.

@@Half_acre_farmer Did replacing the charcoal canister fix your refueling issue? I have a 2013 F250 with 200k, and can only put in about 1/2 gal at a time before the pump kicks off

I changed the canister the purge valve and the gas cap ask cap and I still can't put gas in my truck. Any suggestions?

[@aaronharper2797]

@@Half_acre_farmer I will, there were dust "rocks" inside of the connector that fed directly back to the overflow line on the filler neck. I think all the lines need blown out. I'll update when I find a solution.

So, the environment in your area is Ford's fault.

[@lightninsadventures2692]

This is a pretty common issue on 2011+ gas super duty's

[@kenbrake2828]

Yes, because this is a Ford specific issue.
