Multiple videos in replacing parts, but for some it makes sense to know the why certain component is actually failing, I watch this video as many other videos and all just replace the canister but no one said why is bad or what is bad in it. Reading the comments found out that by overfilling the gas tank some of that gas will pass to the canister and then damage the screen that hold the charcoal in it. Is easy to replace parts but some will like to know what actually went wrong. Hope this helps anyone, Thanks to "he's the Master " your comment makes more sense than watching 100's of videos!

Wow, A really awesome video. I have never seen this repair or problem on a car before. It's always great to see and learn something new. It seems like the factory would have wrapped that whole assembly in plastic or something to keep the rust out. But like my brother says. They don't want things to last forever, lol. Jim, I hope you have a Blessed Fall So Far.

Over filling the tank is the worst thing anyone can do. Eventually the gas gets into the EVAP canister may melt away a protective filter screen so the pellets get released and then contaminates the whole system or seals up the filter and blocks the retention of vapors by the pellets. Newer cars may have a check engine light that goes on. Rest it and it comes back day after day. You will need a new EVAP canister!

What do you think if my problem is related to EVAP or sending unit? My gas gauge is stuck at 3/4 (it goes to 0 when I turn off the car) and even though I'm using fuel (it should be maybe 1/4), it is still at 3/4 of tank. I can fill it up to max, until it starts clicking, but it is only 5.7 gallons and then the gauge goes to max, but always gets stuck at 3/4). I know for sure I should be able to to fill up more, but I can't put more. My tank is 16.1 gallons. It's BMW 2008. There is fuel smell inside the car. When I drive the car, then it is less noticeable, but once I turn it off and leave it overnight, then the smell is really really bad. Now, when I filled up 5.7 gallons, I tried to fill up more and it was clicking a lot, so maybe that destroyed EVAP system, not sure (well, probably it was destroyed before considering I couldn't put more then 5.7 gallons). After that I started noticing fuel smell.

So I had to pull everything back apart ehat I ended up doing was disconnecting all the thick hoses off from the box and the gas tank and using a vacume to vacum out anything out if them and yea there was still a lot more pebbles on it. Once I did that I put everything back together and i didn't have the issue again.

So THIS must be what's wrong with my car. I've never "topped off" the gas though. Maybe someone in the household did? Besides "overfilling gas" as a root cause, what else may have caused this issue? (gas flowing into EVAP canister) I'd hate to go through a canister replacement only to have this issue happen again a month down the road.

You can rebuild the old one if you're careful there are KZfaq videos on how to do it basically you're carefully going to cut apart the canister empty out all the old charcoal and a couple of screens that are in there find a material similar to the screens you took out it'll be easy just close is good you can purchase replacement charcoal act like a fish store or something they use for filters Buffalo farm boys use the filters to go above your stove those also catch fumes and have that same charcoal and they kind of fold them over and over inside once you got your screens back in fill it back up with charcoal of your choice J-B Weld plastic weld whatever the case back together and you're good.I like the stove grease filter idea better than the granular charcoal
