Description
Evaporative petrol vapour canister for Peugeot 307, Partner and Citroën Berlingo vehicles.
Description
This activated carbon (charcoal) evap canister (part number 1505ZV) captures fuel vapours from the tank and temporarily stores them in the EVAP system. Vapours are later routed to the engine via the purge valve to be burned, reducing hydrocarbon emissions, fuel smell and evaporative losses. The unit is intended for use on Citroën/Peugeot models and is a direct-fit replacement where the 1505ZV code is specified.
Benefits
- Restores Proper EVAP Operation: Eliminates faults relating to vapour containment and purge flow.
- Reduces Fuel Odour: Prevents fuel smell in the cabin and around the vehicle.
- Workshop-Friendly: Straightforward swap for professional garages and experienced DIYers.
- Searchable By Code: Commonly found under the product code 1505ZV — useful for fast parts lookup.
Technical Information

- Model: Peugeot 307; Peugeot Partner; Citroën Berlingo
- Product Codes: 1505ZV
- Additional Numbers: NFP
Installation Recommendations
Recommended For: Professional mechanics and competent DIYers. Typical replacement steps:
- Safely lift and support the vehicle to access the unit (usually located near the fuel tank or inner wheel arch).
- Label and disconnect EVAP hoses and electrical connectors (if fitted). Use pliers for clamps and avoid pulling on hoses.
- Remove mounting bolts/brackets and extract the canister. Inspect surrounding hoses, purge valve and vent valve for damage or blockage.
- Fit the new canister, reconnect hoses/ connectors and secure mounting hardware. Replace brittle or collapsed hoses where present.
- Clear any EVAP-related fault codes with a diagnostic tool and perform an EVAP leak/smoke test if available to confirm system tightness and correct purge operation.
Health & Safety: Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid open flames and wear gloves and eye protection. Dispose of the old canister and any contaminated hoses according to local regulations.
Common Reasons For Failure
- Carbon Saturation Or Contamination: Liquid fuel carryover from overfilling or a faulty tank/pump can saturate the charcoal, reducing adsorption capacity.
- Clogged Or Collapsed Hoses: Blocked vent or purge hoses restrict vapour flow and lead to pressure build-up or fault codes.
- Physical Damage: Impact, road debris or corrosion can crack the housing or mounting, causing leaks.
- Water Ingress: Driving through deep water or prolonged damp conditions can damage internal media and valves.
- Associated Valve Failures: Defective purge or vent valves often contribute to apparent canister faults; these should be inspected and replaced if necessary.
Service Life And Notes
There is no fixed replacement interval; the canister is designed to last many years under normal conditions. However, contamination, repeated fuel overfill, or EVAP system faults can shorten its service life. When diagnosing EVAP faults, check hoses, valves and fittings as well as the canister itself to avoid repeat failures.
Compatibility
Typically fitted to Peugeot 307, Peugeot Partner and Citroën Berlingo models where the 1505ZV code is specified. Always confirm the required part code from vehicle documentation or workshop references before installation.
Why Choose This Part
Ideal for workshops and experienced home mechanics who need a reliable EVAP solution for Citroën/Peugeot vehicles. The 1505ZV coded canister helps restore correct evaporative emissions control and eliminate related drivability or emissions warning issues.
