No. The fuel filter filters the liquid gasoline that is pumped to the engine.
The charcoal canister traps the gasoline vapors from the fuel system so they can be burned in the engine.

Yes
The canister should be under the impala on the same side as the fuel filler pipe. The charcoal filled unit holds fuel vapors.
I had the same problem and had to replace the charcoal canister, because some how gas got in it and clogged it causing the vapors to escape through the nozzle and not the charcoal filter in the canister
Check your charcoal fuel canister. I had the same problem changed the light went out. The problem fixed.
Not sure if it would be the same as the 1991 ex but, the ex charcoal canister is located on the fire wall passenger side.
If that is the same as the charcoal canister it is in the engine compartment behind the drivers side headlight
No, a carbon filter and a charcoal filter are not the same. Carbon filters are made from activated carbon, which is a form of carbon that has been processed to have small, low-volume pores that increase its surface area. Charcoal filters, on the other hand, are made from charcoal, which is a form of carbon that has not been processed in the same way.
My understanding is that there may be a fuel filter inside the gas tank, but there also is a cannister filter along the inside of the frame rail on the drivers side of the truck. =========================================================== The fuel filter on a 1999 Suburban will be along the frame rail on the same side as the fuel tank and will be between the fuel tank and the engine. The canister filter is for your evaporative emissions and does not have a service replacement interval.
no. the air filter is to filter air, while the fuel filter is used to filter the fuel.
It is the same as a 98' Corolla. It is attached to the back of the gas tank.
No, they are not.
It usually happens when the sensor responsible for overfilling fails, gas starts to go in the charcoal vapor canister and contaminates it. It causes vacuum system (EVAP) to malfunction. You need to check the sensor or valve what ever you have in your car. You might have to replace the charcoal canister.
