Motorad 996-201-221-03 Fuel Vapor Charcoal Canister EVAP Emissions

The Motorad 996-201-221-03 is a replacement fuel vapor charcoal canister designed as a precise-fit component for the evaporative emissions control (EVAP) system. Also known as a charcoal canister or carbon canister, this part captures and stores fuel vapors from the gas tank, preventing them from venting directly into the atmosphere.

Packed with an activated charcoal bed matched to OEM capacity and grade, the canister adsorbs peak vapor loads without premature saturation. When the engine is running, stored vapors are gradually directed back to the engine to be burned, reducing harmful emissions and improving overall fuel efficiency.

Key Features:

• Activated charcoal bed validated to OE adsorption specifications
• Multi-layer internal flow design for stable, consistent adsorption efficiency
• Pressure-cycle tested housing resists fatigue cracking and slow leaks
• Designed for vehicles without Onboard Refuel Vapor Recovery (ORVR)
• Direct OEM replacement — no modifications required
• Helps maintain OBD-II EVAP system readiness and prevent check engine lights

OEM / Cross-Reference Part Numbers: 996-201-221-03, 996.201.221.03, 99620122103

Choosing a quality replacement vapor canister is essential for reliable emissions control, fuel system performance, and compliance with environmental standards. A failed or degraded canister can result in escaped fuel vapors, reduced fuel efficiency, increased emissions, and a check engine light.
