1997 Volvo 850 - Carbon canister

My canister decided it had had enough and left the building, destroying itself on the road.

Does anyone know if there is a universal one or one for a different maker that can be substituted?

Thanks for any help.

Post up the part number and we will see if you can get you one from a breakers yard here.

Rectangular or round? Under the car near the rear or being a 850 more likely under the LHF fender in front of the wheel?

I've never seen the one on my car, but I've seen pictures of a Volvo canister that was a GM design.

The part number is shown as 9135101, it's the round one behind the bumper on the front left. My concern in sourcing one from the wreckers is; due to the age it is most likely pretty well u/s.

I have found a couple online that look similar but not sure about sizes.

Other than fitment is there anything special with the canister, I can't see why any canister that fits in the space could be used.
