The other day I noticed that there was a ticking sound coming from my EVAP canister.
Is that bad? Is it a timebomb or something??
lol

Thanks

 

hahaha ( BOOM ) Funny I noticed mine doing that yesteday ,tick tick tick tick tick . this was just after turning off the engine .

 

I have noticed the same thing over the past few month, but only when the engine is running. Did you figure it out? I would rather know something before I *****-nilly replace the two canisters that are mounted on the frame.

 

14 year old thread, do you really expect a response?

 

All it takes is ONE, Boss! I found my answer on another forum, but I'll post what I found.
It was a hose that had popped off the top of the Round Evap Canister. Reached up and felt around, found it and put it back on. Viola! annoying problem solved.

 

Given how old the hoses are..... probably wouldn't be a bad idea to inspect all of them...... Dry rot is not a pretty thing.

 

I replaced my hoses when I had the bed off the truck several years ago. Those hoses were in pretty bad shape given their age. Also had to replace some of the steel lines that ran against the frame, as they were rusted.

 

I noticed the OP didn't give any truck info either, The evap systems changed throughout the years. Add vehicle info!

 

I am not the true OP, but my Dodge is a 1998 Ram Quad cab, 5.2 L.

 

HeyYou has the words! I have been listening to him for more that 10 years.
