Capture escaping fuel vapors and keep the evaporative-emissions system sealed with the Standard Ignition Vapor Canister CP3282. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2009-2015 Honda Pilot [V6-3.5L].
The vapor canister is the storage heart of the EVAP system. It holds activated charcoal that adsorbs fuel vapors as they rise from the fuel tank, trapping them instead of venting them to the atmosphere. When the engine is running, the purge valve draws those stored vapors into the intake so they are burned during combustion rather than lost.
- Vapor storage: activated charcoal media captures and holds fuel-tank vapors between purge cycles.
- Emissions control: works with the purge and vent valves to route trapped vapors back to the intake.
- Direct fit: designed to replace the original canister on the listed application.
Signs the canister may need replacing include a persistent fuel odor, an EVAP-related check engine light, or a failed emissions test. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the fault first; if a saturated or cracked canister is the cause, this unit replaces it.
Manufacturer part number CP3282.
Frequently Asked Questions
