Capture and recycle fuel vapor instead of venting it to the atmosphere with the Standard Ignition Vapor Canister CP3046. This charcoal (EVAP) canister is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury applications, including the 1998-2003 Ford Escort, 2000-2003 Ford Focus, 1997-1999 Ford F-150, 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator and 2002-2004 Mercury Mountaineer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete 16-application list.
As part of the evaporative emissions system, the canister holds activated charcoal that adsorbs fuel vapor from the fuel tank, then releases it to the engine's intake to be burned during normal operation.
- Emissions function: Stores fuel vapor and routes it into the intake, keeping raw vapor out of the atmosphere.
- Direct-fit replacement: Serves as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
- Signs it may need replacing: A fuel odor, an EVAP-related check-engine code, or trouble after refueling can point to the canister — diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms have other possible sources. If a failed canister is the cause, this unit replaces it.
