Should I take the line off at the tank and flush both ways? All suggestions welcome. Also - what is the purpose of the small blue tank in the upper right front of the engine bay that connects to the gas tank via a fuel line - just a breather for the gas tank to prevent vacuum? Thanks again for any help.

One other thing: if they are stock, change ALL your fuel and vent hoses (and clamps, of course) for new ones. Nothing fancy required here, but a solid move to help reduce fire risk. You are correct that the hose to the canister is to vent fumes but it will not have any impact on the engine running.
I am fairly certain a new fuel pump will cure this. There is a small chance there is some problem with the fuel pick-up within the tank, but since that part is hard to come by and not as likely to fail as an old pump, I'd leave that alone unless the pump doesn't help.
Good luck!
