THE CHARCOAL CANISTER VAPOR TRAP CAN MALFUNCTION AND FILL WITH GASOLINE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE WITH THE PRIOR OWNER (02/06/2008) AND TWICE WITH US (10/31/2016).

THEY REPLACED THE CHARCOAL CANISTER VAPOR TRAP AGAIN. THIS CAUSES TOTAL UNDRIVABILITY BECAUSE OF OVERWHELMING RAW FUEL SMELL AND THE FEAR OF FIRE.
