Review on ACDelco 22963841 Original Equipment Canister by Rene Putman

I bought a 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV (6.0 LQ9 engine) with about 150,000 miles on the odometer. The previous owner apparently "topped up" the tank because I had problems filling up from day one. After searching, I found that refilling was sending fuel into the vapor canister, destroying the membrane that kept the charcoal inside, causing the charcoal pellets to fill all the emission lines and causing a refueling problem. Since I was replacing it, I went ahead and replaced two more emission components: ACDelco 214-1105 GM Original Equipment Vapor Canister Purge Valve and ACDelco 214-2149 Professional Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid. When you disconnect the vent lines from the steam canister and purge valve, be sure to blow compressed air through all lines to remove any charcoal pellets. This is very important for the correct operation of new parts. Another thing to check since you are already under the car is the hose that connects the filler neck to the gas tank. Because the lines were clogged with carbon, a vacuum was created in the tank, creating a funnel in that section of hose that limited the amount of fuel going into the tank. I didn't get it the first time and wondered why replacing all the fuel ejection components didn't fix my slow refueling issue. After I replaced the piece of fuel hose everything worked as it should and Noonan, my Caddy, took no more than 30 minutes to fill up (why Noonan? Because Danny is a stupid name for a Caddy).
