But the charcoal canister is safe under the hood of my 1988 Sprint. There is no reason that a charcoal cannister should be vulnerable to topping the tank off... other than bad design. Why can't the canister be mounted above the top of the tank so that liquid overflow is not a problem? Why does the Yaris have such crappy, fragile, and poorly positioned fuel system components? Or is this, perhaps, just hearsay, too?
