My fuel fill ups have been gradually getting more and more annoying as the gas pump shuts off (pressure build up) after only a slight amount. After searching around a bit more and describing the situation to a mechanic I was informed that the charcoal canister is likely the culprit. I'm getting no engine light on or codes indicated when checked. I want to try and replace the canister myself but wanted to run it by someone who may have done in before. Murphy's law has a way of popping up on me and want to try and do it right without destroying any fittings or having to hack saw something off etc. Pics attached show a "Y" adapter and special fittings. Also, I understand a "smoke check" may be done to I.D. a leak (small cracked in hose etc.) but it may be my issue is something is clogged/blocked. The location for canister on 1999 is different from 1997 so wanted to check on the forums to double check. Great forum and thanks in advance.
