[DML] Vapor System Problem

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was checking the filter on the carbon canister and I noticed the
plastic nipple where the vent hose connects was full of mud. I cleaned
it out and checked the hose. It too was blocked by mud. I have to
guess that some kind of insect must have made it's home in there and
plugged it up. On really hot days if I would leave the car in the sun,
like at a car show, I would notice a slight fuel smell. It had to be
because the vent hose was plugged up. I will blame the previous owner
who must have parked the car outside because since I have had the car
I have never left it outdoors (well except for those overnights with
the Delorean club). BTW the filter was clean, no surprise, with the
vent hose being plugged up! My advice is the next time you have the
vapor canister out, like when you are servicing the antennae, check
the filter and hose on the vapor system. The round center portion on
the bottom snaps off and the filter is right there.
