Fuel leak? Charcoal canister?
Can you clean the charcoal canister?
No, you cannot clean a charcoal canister effectively. Charcoal canisters are designed to absorb fuel vapors, and once they become saturated or contaminated, they lose their effectiveness. The best course of action is to replace the canister if it's malfunctioning. Attempting to clean it may cause more harm than good.
What cause charcoal canister filled with water?
A charcoal canister can become filled with water due to driving in wet or rainy conditions, a blocked or misrouted drain hose, or a cracked canister allowing water to enter. This can lead to poor engine performance, increased emissions, and potential damage to the canister itself. It is important to address the issue promptly to prevent further problems.
What does a code P0441 EVAP emission mean?
It means you have an Evap purge control leak in the EVAP system. Basically when you have gasoline in a car there are a lot of excess fumes, these fumes are routed through the EVAP system of the car, through a charcoal canister, and returned back to your gas tank as liquid fuel. A leaking charcoal canister, Evap Purge solenoid, PCV lines or PCV elbows can cause this. Also a leaking gas cap can cause this. I would recommend replacing the gas cap first. if that does not do it, check all the connections to the EVAP canister *located in the engine by the firewall*. If there are any leaks, change the elbows or lines. IF the problem still exists you most likely need a new charcoal canister or Canister purge valve solenoid.
Why was it important to remove any drops of vinegar from the canister?
Because vinegar is known as an acid, or in some cases a corrosive, this can cause damage to the canister.
Can a defected charcoal canister cause engine misfire or smog test failure?
yes it can cause smog test failure, check engine light will most likely pop up since it controls part of the vapor by filtering it.

How often should you change a vapor canister on a 1979 Oldsmobile cutlass?
I don't know that there is really any set replacement time for these. If you're smelling gas fumes and have ruled out everything else, the vapor canister could be the cause. These can also be "rebuilt". You can empty out and replace the charcoal and put a new filter in the bottom of it. That's pretty much it.
