EVAP Canister or regulator valve issue ?

<< < (2/2)

Shaun:
I had the valve replaced under warranty some months ago after the 'emissions' warning light came on intermittently. It would come on, remain on for 48 hours and then go out again. Did this two or three times before I booked it in.

Had no probs for a while then the same pattern repeated. This time they replaced the canister. That was back in October... no light since.

At no point were there any issues with the running... just the light.

What's the issue with brimming the tank?? I always do this; am I wrong??

Cheers,

Shaun

The cannister supposedly becomes sodden with fuel and some bits of charcoal drops down and messes up the N80 valve.
