I have liquid fuel leaking out of the bottom of my carbon canister, im pretty sure its not supposed to do that, anyone have any ideas why its doing this? any help would be greatyl appreciated. thanks

87 IROC-z 305 TPI 5spd Borg warner 9-bolt 3.42 posi 4 wheel disc, no mods yet,just got it.

 

there is a replaceable filter in the bottom
but might be to late for that, on full up the tank may have been overfilled which i am told will put fuel in the cannister or maybe the system might not be going into purge which is controled by the ecm via a solinoid on top of the canister i just replaced mine for 85.00 at my local chevy dealer, parts store said its a dealer item, and it came with solinoid also. had no problems since i replaces it.

sorry about double post.... screwed up, not the first or last time (_?_)

 

Fast,

Look for this under tha canister:



Check all the vacuum lines from the throttle body to the canister. Make sure the purge solenoid is plugged in. Beyond that, you may be in the same boat as ROC.
