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?

Thanks,

Neil
