Reply to "Fuel Vapor Cannister"

That looks like a good option especially with the high ethanol content and instability of modern fuel which causes it to go off so quickly and smell really awful.

It looks like you can take the lid off the cannister, but who knows what I'll find inside. I won't be surprised if I find a squirrel's nest in there. But once I get the car running again I'll see if original stuff still works... If not I'll take it apart and try replacing the charcoal and see what happens then.
