Been reading different threads on this subject, but am not getting an answer I understand, other than I need a new charcoal canister.
Little background. I went to fill my 73 Sequoia, slow fill, gurgle, gurgle, wait, gurgle, gurgle, then the attendant let me know I was putting gas on
the ground. Popped the engine cover and I see the charcoal canister with fuel pouring out.
Hence, I need a charcoal canister? From what I’ve read, need a 2 port canister. Anything I should know or am I chasing rabbits?
Thanx

Find a gas station with nozzles that work right. Yours did not cancel.

Thom,
The liquid is coming through the vent system.
Your vapor separator is not working , so it must be replaced,
The manifold vacuum purges the carbon canister and remove the gas off the
carbon and brought into the intake manifold.
We supply a lot of the Vapor Separators as they do get old and non
operative.

Where is the vapor separator?

 

[Jim Hupy]

Left side rear wheel well. 10:30 o'clock position as you face it. Several
fuel /purge lines in close proximity. Hard to miss..

Some early Corvettes used a similar part. Some guys here have used them to
replace failed gmc parts.
