What is the purpose of this system and how to check and replace Purge Valve and Canister on Mercury Cougar?

This system prevents hydrocarbons from polluting the atmosphere by storing fuel vapor from the tank. It includes a charcoal canister, purge control solenoid, connecting lines, fuel cap, and fuel injection system. Vapor from the tank is stored in a charcoal canister located near the front wheel well until the engine starts. The canister connects to a purge solenoid, which opens at engine start to draw vapor into the air cleaner. The canister and solenoid should be checked for damage or malfunction and replaced if necessary. To replace the canister, remove the mounting bolt, lower the canister, detach the hose, and remove the canister. For other components, use the VECI label schematic to locate and replace them. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Mercury Cougar Vapor Canister

The Vapor Canister in Mercury Cougar vehicles is one of the principal components of the evaporative emission control (EVAP) system intended to minimize hydrocarbon emissions. It operates to hold fuel vapours in a detachable carbon canister which has activated charcoal for adsorbing these vapors. During the running of the engine, a purge valve opens and the engine takes in a blend of air and the stored fuel vapours. In the years past, different designs of Vapor Canisters have been used in the various Cougar models and some came with replaceable filters for maximum performance. Contemporary forms of the system include other diagnostic parts like a canister vent solenoid and fuel tank pressure sensor making it easier for the system to effectively diagnose any leaks while at the same time run more proficiently. Following are some of the advancements that are helpful to sustain environmental norms and enhance the operation of vehicles.

We provide a wide range of Mercury Cougar Vapor Canister at the best prices possible. If you need Mercury Cougar Vapor Canister, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
