In this video I'm going to tidy up the engine bay a little bit by removing my charcoal / EVAP canister. The canister is there to filter any vapors coming from the fuel tank so it helps with emissions but don't worry, you will still pass any emissions test if you remove the charcoal canister.
Things you will need:
» Gloves (optional)
» Pliers
» Penetrating oil
» Socket wrench
» 10mm socket
» Pincers
» Lubricant (optional)
» 10mm wrench
» Electrical tape
» Zip tie
» Intake manifold inlet plug (optional)
Music I used:

Are there any benefits to removing this canister beyond just making room in the engine bay? I've been thinking of removing mine, but the car is finally running consistently and I don't want to start messing around with the vacuum hoses if there's literally no good reason to.

Removing the solenoid will cause a check engine like on OBD II models, or at least it did on my 97. The solution is the just leave the solenoid in, and loop it to itself.

Great video! Tho I would mention if your ever going to lube up rubber hoses to make sliding them on easier(which works great!) its best to use a silicon spray lube and not normal WD-40 as it can cause the rubber to wear out much quicker by eating it up and drying it out.

i have always wondered what that canister do

@mayabang4637

Reminder to California residents. Evap canisters are required for inspection.(I’m getting a smog and found out the hard way after following this tutorial a year ago).

We don't even have emissions in Florida.... or inspections... so this is complete pointless to keep

I just did this to my Miata and suddenly I’m getting a horrible rotten egg smell in the cabin. Did this happen to anybody else?

Another high quality video. Thanks man. My Miata turns 20 this year, and I often thought that whatever charcoal element was originally in there, must be gone by now. Any way to open the canister up to see what the inside looks like? Is it serviceable, or is it completely sealed? By the way, the video looks great...are you shooting in 4K 60fps or what? lol

Good job on these videos, they are all really well put together. Very informative and thorough. As an auto tech by trade, I didn't need to watch the video but I just couldn't stop watching. Thanks for putting them together. Take care, Zoom-Zoom!

Man..... you kinda saved me. I have a 323F BA, and it has the same annoying anti-emission system. I removed the assembly, but I didn't have any plug, so I decided to plug the solenoid hoses and tie one of them so it would pull a vacuum. I hope now I can pass emissions without cheating it.

Excellent, I did the opposite as I am restoring mine and didn't know where the downpipe exited, now I know, thanks.

Ik kwam een half bos tegen onder dat ding. Uiteindelijk links en rechts van de motor alles los gehaald zodat ik wat beter kon schoon maken. Vervolgens 2 dagen bezig geweest om het allemaal netjes te krijgen. En bedankt he ! :)

After watching this video I decided to give this a go on my 2002 Protege. The system seems similar enough. I am having to do this as Mazda discontinued the canister for my car and no one has one. It has failed and will not allow the gas tank to be filled at a reasonable pace. I also keep getting the check engine light every 50 or so miles due to a leak in the evap system. So far so good after bypassing it and plugging the line to the crank case. Thanks for the information.

Thanks for another great vid. I took your instructions to the car and removed mine within a short 10 mins. I particularly like how much room this creates.
