Mystery component, in DS rear frame rail

Ok, what the heck is this bloody thing?

Not giving me any grief or concern, just curious...

Looks like a charcoal canister.

Part of the vapor recovery system. Charcoal canister...

I spy rust!!

 

[Lightnig]

Ahh, ok, that makes sense. I never did see one under the hood and was thinking that these trucks did not have them any more...



And Yes tom, a wee bit of the red stuff.

Actually, what you see here is by far the worst anywhere on the truck - other than a really bad spot on a very poor quality repair area on the PS rear quarter wheel well.

It appears you have zero rust where mine is the worst. On the body sheetmetal! My frame has minor surface rust but the undercarriage of the body is horrible.

That's what you need to replace when you're filling up at the gas station and the fuel doesn't want to go in and spits back up the fill tube.

Ahhh, that's good to know, will have to remember that one for future reference

Thanks
