Default Where is the EVAP canister located

Specifically the one that keeps me from filing up at the gas station. When trying to fill up the handle clicks off about every few minutes

Default Well unfortunately nothing looks like the diagram I found on-line

according to the diagram I am having a hard time finding something that looks like #15. Also, does anyone know where #5 goes to (airbox?) and #4 (to the metal line that runs along side engine towards back of car?) Any help is appreciated.

Default Really wish this site would let you make edits

#5 runs to firewall back along engine and #4 runs to airbox?

Were you able to fix your issue of not being able to activate the "automatic" filling up? Just wondering what the issue was if you did, and what part was replaced.

Yes, I had car in dealership for an oil change so asked them to look at this. Came back with a @$2,500+ tab to replace gas tank. Said they checked everything, all checked out fine except for switch at nozzle entry. Took it back, dropped canister (was never removed by the way..you can tell from the nuts having no marring whatsoever on them) and found this to be saturated. Bought a new one swapped it in and car was back to normal.

Please tell me you didn't pay 2500 only to find a bad canister, i.e. that you didn't let them do the tank
