Detailed Description
This Dorman vapor canister is built to match the original equipment evap canister used on certain Subaru models, including 2003-2004 Subaru Baja, 1998-2004 Subaru Impreza, 2001-2003 Subaru Forester, 2001-2003 Subaru Outback, 1998-2000 Subaru Forester with Federal Emissions, 1999-2000 Subaru Impreza with Federal Emissions, and 1998-1999 Subaru Legacy. Part number 911-296 is a direct-fit emissions control replacement for vehicles that rely on the canister to capture and store fuel vapors before they are routed through the purge system.
This part cross-references Standard Ignition CP3217 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- EVAP leak codes related to a damaged or saturated canister
- Fuel vapor odor from a failing evaporative emissions component
- Check engine light concerns tied to emissions control faults
- Restricted vapor storage caused by cracked housing or degraded carbon media
- Restoration of proper purge and vapor capture function on Subaru EVAP systems
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify port count, port diameters, and mounting location against the original unit before installation. This vapor canister does not include mounting hardware. Confirm Federal Emissions notes where listed, especially on 1998-2000 Subaru Forester and 1999-2000 Subaru Impreza applications. Use the vehicle’s EVAP routing and connector layout to ensure the replacement matches the original configuration.
Quality Assurance
Dorman manufactures this vapor canister to match OE fit and function on the listed Subaru applications. The carbon filter element is included, and the housing is molded in plastic for a factory-style replacement profile.
