Default Tin Can Questions

Alright guys. I'm in the middle of a rebuild on a 95 f150 5.0 and I'm clearing out the engine bay. Im cleaning it up to make it more presentable and this ugly tin can is bothering me. I understand it's a part of the vacume system but is there any way to get rid of this thing or bypass it. Thanks

It's a reservoir for vacuum so you do need it. If you want to reroute a lot of vacuum lines, the 92's used to have a second can under the washer bottle (for cruise control), so it will fit there.

It will fit under the washer fluid bottles on all 9th gens. The holes are predrilled in the inner fender. Just make sure not to get the two vacuum lines crossed up. It will run fine up to about 45mph and then throw a check engine light and go into limp mode. Ask me how I know! Lol
