Jeep owners often face an issue with the evap canister’s stock location. It’s positioned in a way that makes it vulnerable to getting damaged on rugged trails. They often get ripped loose – as seen in the image of a dangling evap canister below:
While relocating the canister might seem like a solution, it often leads to bigger issues, including:
- Warranty Risks: Moving the evap canister can void your factory warranty. If issues arise after relocation, manufacturers might refuse coverage.
- Installation Hassles: Relocation requires custom brackets, longer hoses, and careful mounting. It’s a time-consuming and often costly process.
- Potential Performance Issues: Incorrect relocation can interfere with the emissions system, leading to venting problems or triggering engine lights.
Fortunately, there’s a better solution, which is a Westin Evap Canister Skid Plate.
