This is great, puts everything into perspective. I am worried if you two haven't figured it out, I have quite the uphill battle to figure mine out.

Does this valve look like it has proper orientation?
I’ve pulled lines off the charcoal canister and blew into each line. No obvious blockage as I was able to blow into it with a little difficulty which I attribute to the caliber of the line. Same for line coming out of the valve by vapor thing in rear

As long as that valve will let air flow pass from vapor separator > to > charcoal cannister, you are good!

Valve checked, air flowed in direction it should. I’m still digging here
Canister plugged, they can do that…

Contemplated replacing that, one for sale on mud.
Wonder if this would be decent swap?

Thoughts on using different gas cap?

I grafted a later model Toyota thread-on cap filler neck onto the lower portion of the OEM filler neck to prevent the spillage that factory FJ55 fuel caps are notorious for. Going this route requires the venting system to be actually venting.
Understandibly, this route isn’t for everyone. The next best would be to source a fill neck with a flat seating surface and a new cap and give that a try.
Just make one, super simple and you can mount it up high in the rear pillar.

I just put a little shy of 200 miles on the Pig today. I started with a full tank, and didn’t witness any puking out of the fill hole.
It is also a little warm here today.
I removed the gas cap a few times throughout my travels - no significant pressure in the tank.

Heat index over 100 here today. I’m not leaving house. Been in shop most of day piddling around. Looking for good toolbox and ways to organize all my tools. Took our furniture from CO out of trailer, cleaned and conditioned the couch and chairs. I was soaking mess just doing that. Man ave really progressing!

If someone was constantly overfilling the tank, then yes, they can get clogged.Canister plugged, they can do that…
Can you put air through the canister at the connection for the tank line?
What about at the purge line?
Does either connection have a one-way valve? Does that work?
There should be a vent line on the bottom of the can. The air you put in at the tank connection should come out there.
AFAIK, you can introduce carb cleaner to the charcoal media if say the check valve is sticky.

Looks like the dogs approve!

Your cap needs to do 2 things - not let pressure out, but let air in if subject to a vacuum in the tank.

I’m not following you here - are you talking about mounting a new can inside the Pig? In the interior?

Likely be next weekend or later tonight, gonna show the wife the shop when they get home from the CSU road trip. I’ll assess the temp shortly but not thinking it’s gonna be in the 70’s
Kind of yes...

I've only witnessed my pig puking gas one time. I attributed it to overfilling, hot day, parking in sun with full/overfilled tank. I've been careful to not try to get the last gallon in the tank ever since.

WTF, WTF, WTF!!!!
I had a 79 F250 with plastic tank in rear if you filled that on Hot it would piss out in the morning 
UNRELATED: How does that split unit A/C perform for you in these temperatures?
