Dorman - OE Solutions Vapor Canister P/N:911-766
Keep fuel vapors contained where they belong with this Dorman evap canister, part number 911-561, a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2004 Nissan Frontier and 2001-2004 Nissan Xterra. This evaporative emissions charcoal canister collects fuel vapor from the tank and holds it until the engine draws it in to be burned. That is a key job in the vehicle's emissions control system.
Signs a vapor canister may need replacing include a check engine light with evaporative-system codes, a raw fuel smell, and a pump nozzle that shuts off early while you refuel. Purge valves, vent valves and hoses can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the EVAP system before you replace parts. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete fitment details.

Is this the right vapor canister for a 2001-2004 Nissan Frontier?
Yes. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2004 Nissan Frontier and also fits the 2001-2004 Nissan Xterra. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete fitment details.
What does a vapor canister do?
It stores fuel vapor from the tank in charcoal so the vapor is not vented to the atmosphere. When the purge system opens, it releases that vapor to the engine to be burned.
What are signs the vapor canister may need replacing?
Common signs include a check engine light with EVAP codes, a fuel odor, or a pump nozzle that clicks off early while refueling. Confirm the diagnosis first, because valves and hoses can cause similar issues.
How is the Dorman vapor canister designed?
Dorman reverse engineered it from the original design for the listed applications. It is made to match the function and performance of the original canister.
Will replacing the canister clear my check engine light?
Only if a failed canister is the cause of the fault. Purge valves, vent valves and hoses can set similar codes, so diagnose the EVAP system before replacing parts.
