Product Overview

Active carbon/charcoal canister designed to capture and store fuel vapours from the fuel tank and EVAP system on selected Citroën and Peugeot models. This component prevents hydrocarbon emissions from escaping to atmosphere and works together with the purge valve and EVAP hoses to route stored vapours back to the engine for combustion. Frequently searched under part numbers 1502H9 and 9683409180.

Why This Part Matters

The charcoal canister is a passive but essential part of the evaporative emissions control system (EVAP). A healthy canister keeps fuel vapours contained, reduces unpleasant fuel odours, and prevents EVAP system fault codes (for example P0440, P0441, P0442, P0443, P0446) and related drivability issues. Replacing a failed canister restores correct EVAP function and helps the vehicle pass emissions inspections.

Fitment And Common Applications

Common applications include Citroën C4 and Peugeot 307 models. Many technicians and DIYers locate compatible parts by product code (1502H9, 9683409180). Always confirm fitment by matching the part number and physical mounting location on the vehicle.

Signs Of Failure

• Illuminated Check Engine Light With EVAP Codes (e.g. P0440, P0441, P0442).
• Strong Fuel Smell Around The Vehicle Or In The Cabin.
• Poor Idling Or Minor Hesitation When The Purge System Malfunctions.
• Visible Damage To The Canister Body, Broken Hoses Or Connectors.

Typical Causes Of Failure

The most common reasons the canister fails are saturation or contamination of the activated carbon (for example by liquid fuel entering the canister), physical damage from underbody impact, degraded or cracked EVAP hoses and seals, and clogging caused by debris or water ingress. In many cases the canister itself remains functional but associated components—piping, valves and seals—fail first and lead to increased loads or contamination of the canister.

Replacement And Installation

Replacement is straightforward for a competent mechanic with basic workshop tools. Typical steps:

• Locate The Canister (Usually Mounted Near The Fuel Tank Or Rear Underbody Depending On Model).
• Relieve Fuel System Vapour Pressure By Parking The Vehicle In A Ventilated Area; Avoid Open Flames.
