Vapor Canister

One last thing, my fuel economy doesn't appear to be effected by this either.

I wouldn't think it would. This system is purely responsible for keeping the fumes from escaping into the air. The pump is just a diagnostic tool that the car uses to make sure that the system is airtight. Theoretically yours is still airtight, but the testing mechanism has failed.

Looking at the TSB, there is a replacement Fuel Tank Filler Pipe Cover that is supposed to seal better. You may want to also see if you can grab that from on 08, or if you can talk you dealer into giving it to you. If you want a copy of the TSB, it is posted in a stickied thread in the DIY section of the forum.

Awesome!! Thanks for all the help. I'll talk to the dealer to see what they will do. If no go, I'll just keep looking in the junk yards. I love going there just because.

I see this all the time, where at the gas pump, people are topping off their tank. From what I understand, topping off will kill your vapor canister. Stop at first click off. Even some gas stations have warnings about this.
But you still see click click click click. oh well.
