Hi all. Given a recent fuel vapour lock-starvation issue, I suspected the charcoal filter was at fault. Today, I swapped out the charcoal canister. While the part was off, I used my mouth to blow air back through the EVAP system. As Expected, I felt a fair amount of back pressure but could hear air hissing out up front near fuel tank. There is a small leak. However. With gas cap removed, it does same. With gas cap off shouldn't I be able to easily blow air back through the EVAP system? Or, am I blowing the rollover valves closed?
