How do you unclog the furel vapor cannister? what causes this to clog? Is it possible for it to clog so bad that it leaks fuel?

Any ideas? it stinks like gas

 

I have seen this before, it is a charcoal canister, so I think you have to replace it.

 

Will this cause a gas smell when you stop or after filling the tank?

 

Don't these things fail after a couple of years anyhow? Read that on another forum on TGO.

 

I am not sure, I just smelled the problem and observed that there was "sweating" on the fuel lines that were on the frame rails. I changed the fuel lines out and the smell near the cannister went away... I think what the problem was, was that there was air coming into the lines kinda like what happens when you sip through a straw with a hole in it. I think this caused additional vapors to be created and thus the gas smell coming from the cannister because there is no longer any gas smell from that area...

Probably. I just heard from someone that they could be rebuilt...
