I am trying to track down some backfiring and low power on hills/throttle issues and starting with fuel and electrical systems. I seem to smell some gas at the tailpipe and in the filter area after hard driving, i could somewhat smell gas around the canister this evening (did not drive it today) and was not getting any gas smell off the tank itself.
I have both an inline high pressure filter and the canister on my 1987 single gas tank 2.9l ranger. I'm not sure if my canister has a filter in it or not, parts sites list both filters available for my model year. Is there anyway to determine if my canister has a filter? It looks to be about 3" overall, it is not the very short hockey puck sized one I see in some photos online. I saw a photo at some point in my googling showing the 2 types of canisters but I can't seem to find it again.
If my canister does not have a filter is it still possible it could be clogged inside at all?
My issues seem to have started after running a few batches of injector cleaner (probably overdosed on them too by accident). Wanted to check the fuel filters first before I tore into the injectors.
This Ranger is my daily driver at the moment so taking it off the road for injector cleaning is going to be tough. I may have to suck it up and pay a Valvoline type place for mechanical injector cleaning.
