EVAP CANISTER LOCATION??? - 2010 Sport Trac

[2manymustangs]

Sorry if this specific generation of 2007-2010 Sport Trac EVAP canister location has been discussed, I am not seeing the canister and just getting started tracing the lines. I have removed the bed of my Sport Trac so that I can more easily access/drop the gas tank and do some clean up/maintenance.... There is a small black box inline and attached to the rear (normally open) purge valve but the other side of that black box goes to the atmosphere vent that runs up along side the gas fill/vent hose-neck... I'm assuming that little black box is just a filter to keep dirt / bugs out of the rear purge valve...

Help please

I found it, it's the long cylindrical type that sits literally on the top of the gas tank, just next to the drive shaft tunnel. There's no way to get at it without dropping the tank...

This is the same location as an Explorer of the same time period....

I guess at 200K miles it's time for a new fuel pump anyway
