Havn't heard anything negative from the owner yet, so I suspect it's working like desired.
Tha last failure notification was then probably from fuel spilling into the purge valve or carbon filter canister, I assume, so the system got soaked and drowned. Til now, I have no idea of HOW the fuel...
I think I have solved it with a new inlet into the tank filler instead directly into the tank. No spilling when pumping. No christmas tree until now, but this might just take some days...

Me again...talking with myself...
Would it be possible to install a back pressure valve in the canister line or would this cause too high pressure in the tank system when the fuel is evaporating?
Dirk
Ah, sorry, forgot to say: both bleeding line and "vent aux" are tightly sealed by the fuel cap, because else the pressure test wouldn't work. They "meet" just below the cap, my aux vent is welded into the metal.
Dirk
Is the following right:
-the canister system is always open except for the pressure test?
-so when overfilling the main tank by pumping (it's a rather strong pump, but a lot less than the fuel station pump), the pressed out air is going...where? It should go through the bleeding pipe and from...
Hi,
two more pics: one is another scheme from the FJ tank system, the other is appr. what I've made.
So this is the riddle...how does the fuel get out of the canister filler line, whis is normally only the inlet for the canister regeneration?
Cheers,
Dirk
Hi there,
I'm from Germany and I do have a FJ Cruiser here from a customer which I have fitted with an aux tank a while ago. It is filled by a Y-turnoff, when the main tank is full. Works well so far.
After the usual horror stories with the pressure test I finally managed to seal the system...
