Default problems with evap relocate??

who had had any problems after relocating. thinking of ditching the skid and relocating for the prospect of a off road exhaust in the future, just not sure if im up for it or if its worth it or if i should just let the skid do its job.

Check out the poison spider evap skid. Not only is the skid robust but it lifts the cannister 3/4 inch.

Most of the few problems I've read about here over the past two years center around the small seal that is used for one of the connectors on the evap cannister (the white connector). It can get munged if not reconnected carefully. I've done/helped others do three of these and the first I did without even disconnecting that connector. None of those three installs have ever had further problems. All of these were with the Woods (JeepSWAG) kit, BTW.

I know i used your write up to relocate, and everything went fine, but every once in a while I have a hard time filling up the tank I know is because one of the hoses tha goes to the evap is more bent than it should be
