Does anybody know where is the Evap Canister on the 2007 Lexus LX470?
I don’t see it by the drivers side of the motor

In the later years, I believe they moved it to the rear near the fuel filler neck.

I removed the spare tire. I believe this is it. Can anybody confirm?
that's it.

Do you know how to Disconnect the pipes connecting to it?

After reviewing some of my pictures, I think I may have found the way to disconnect them, but will have to put it to the test Thursday. May try to get to it tomorrow
Curious...why are you removing? related to flammable off-gassing issue @ elevation/temp?

I am working on it because I am having problems at the gas pump. The gas pump will stop pumping gas after a few second. Per research it may be some pipes have dirt/dust/spider,etc that might be restricting gases from exiting and therefore tripping the sensor making it thing the gas tank is full.
Not sure the evap cannister would impact flow of fuel into the tank. Some owners have had issues with the filler neck swelling making it difficult to fill. Seems this can happen either at the fill point or towards the tank connection.
Shine a flashlight into the filler neck and have a look.

To be 100% honest this guy is kind of a nut. I don't always trust what he says. He doesn't always explore ALL of the possibilities.
I had the same issue the first 2-3 times I filled up and I solved it by just not shoving the gas pump all the way into the filler neck. Let it sit back a little to allow air to exit the tank as the fuel goes in. Try this first before trying to mess with a bunch of things.

Thanks sir. I did try this multiple times. I played with the gas pump at different positions and it hasn’t worked 99 percent of the time. I have to say 99 percent because to my surprise last night I was able to fill up $70 worth of gas on one try (full tank). I will give it another try before I go ahead and work on the Evap Canister. What this guy mentions in the video is also discussed in other videos and a thread here in i8hmud and it seems to have worked.

Ok just want to make sure you aren't doing a ton of unnecessary work. if the problem persists, which it seems like it has, keep digging.
Best of luck!

I would argue the EVAP or any of the evap lines being clogged is not the cause of your slowly filling tank.
FWIW There is a fuel tank vent return line routed from the inlet at the tank to the filler neck opening; this is not associated with the EVAP system. If that were clogged, you would get some back pressure at the filler neck, and possibly some slow filling. The EVAP lines are connected to the fuel tank outlet where the fuel sent to the engine.
The flexible section at the tank inlet 77201A has been known to be the cause of the slow-fill per the thread I posted for you.

Any recommendations on how to verify I’d this flexible line is the problem?
I haven't done it, but it would entail getting to the top of the tank and removing the hose to inspect it. I read a post in another thread from @Julian Stead who had some corrosion in the return line and that created a blockage. You might test that and rule that out as well.

In some cases the main fill hose starts to break down or separate internally causing blockage and the slow fill as well... IIRC I read it around here somewhere.
