Wow. I am profoundly grateful for this thought-provoking and carefully considered response. My first & primary question is:
If indeed the charcoal canister is (or has been) soaked...is it finished? Must be replaced? I ask because - in the grand scheme of things it's not that expensive - and I believe I could do it myself unless there is some sort of strange tooling and/or procedure associated with this repair(?)
Or...
Is there a test or a visual/auditory examination I might perform to verify this condition? If I removed it, would it slosh? Or dribble fuel out one of the ports? Both?
And what about the line(s) between the canister and the EPV on the engine? I wonder if they could/should be gently blown out? Or is this risky? Perhaps there are other check valves present in the line that would not survive a gentle blast of compressed air(?)
Or am I wasting time and I should just replace the damn thing and call it a day?
This? GU5Z-9D653-A
