The other possible alternative might be a stuck purge valve but that usually also causes hard starting, rough running, and/or a check engine light. Unfortunately neither the purge valve nor the canister are covered by the 8 year/80,000 mile emissions warranty.

The Ozarks are basically unpaved road heaven, for Missouri any numbered county road is unpnaved, the paved roads are lettered. In Taney and Ozark County 90% of the roads are unpaved. Over 85%...
