Hmm.. well after hard driving and I go to fill up, I open the cap and it sucks in enough air to make me say "WTF".

Yep...thats the "Oh ****, I'm glad I didnt implode my gas tank..." remark.



So I'm wondering if maybe my charcoal canister is bad somehow, or well, dubbya tee eff?

no they actually want a slight vacuum there, as long as its not sucking the tank shut* its fine

You tried huffing your gas?

I just left the canister in place connected to the vent line, no gas smell except when the car is idling https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Interesting. Someone had posted a while ago about a valve by the tank, but I was never sure since I never took out my canister. I thought maybe it was this, since it looks like the line from the canister goes through this before the tank. But again, I wasn't sure https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Isn't that the brake porportioning valve??

no you moe! the ppv is near the master cylender. its the shut off valve for when the car rolls over, it stops fuel from leaking out of the tank.....
