Looking for Somone Who's Changed a Charcoal Canister

Please post any links you find on PriusChat about doing that... As best I can remember, we've always just said replace the whole tank/system as a single unit for all problems because its easier to do that swap from a low mileage wrecked car than taking apart that system.

Wait a minute If I'm not mistaken this is similar to my Siena van I have two sitting here that I can take out but I haven't done it just because and I do believe they will come separately from the tank It's a rectangular sheet metal like box affair that has the vacuum switching valve the charcoal canister related hosing and I'm sure some other stuff. I don't think you have to take the whole tank out You may have to loosen it so that you can slide the thing up kind of behind it if you will The rear portion of the canister assembly and it cheap metal rectangular assembly go up above the trailing edge of the tank if I'm not mistaken so removing it shouldn't be a thing but I guess if somebody wasn't studying very long they could just think that would be the quickest thing to do because I'm doing bolts is pretty quick of course if the tank is full and things like that just becomes a little more problematic You don't want the tank coming down when you blast out the bolts so that's just to loosen them or the straps if you have to to make a slight space just slide the canister assembly out Don't forget to unplug and debarb all your hoses.
