You could be right. I just know the size of the evap canister also is dependant on the size of the fuel tank system as a whole. That's why I brought up the hose lengths. They are part of the system.

I left a little gap between the canister and the cross member in front of it so it wouldn't start rubbing and squeaking.

I don't know if he got a code, but I did this mod last week, and so far nothing I don't see how anything would change because of moving the canister this way.

No codes. None on the highway or on the trails. Just got back from 2 days of wheeling at Uwarrie. 2hr 45 min drive there and 2hr 45 min drive back.
