Re: [DML] Charcoal canister

[kevin creason <kcreason77@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't have answers-- but I am eagerly awaiting
someone's informed answers.
I, too have a periodic hot-start issue. The
accumulator is about five years old (and I have a
spare JIC), and I've done the o-rings in the
drain-back line on the fuel distrubuter just recently.
They helped moderately.

My wife complains that my clothes smell exhausty after
I've been driving a while, and it doesn't run too
rich. So, I am really starting to wonder if my
canister is malfunctioning, fills the pontoon with
funes and bleeds into the cabin.
I think for $53 I should go ahead and get a new one
from DMCH for safety reasons... does anyone have some
other good or better ideas?
