Evaporation canister

[Jinx]

To keep a long story short, I have a broken connection on my evap can. It’s the largest one. My question is ,can I still drive my truck ( pavement ) until a new one arrives or should I leave it parked ?

It may throw a code and dash light.
It may drip fuel if the line is broken.
If the solenoid faults with it, will make fueling up difficult as the tank won't vent.
It won't hurt anything to drive it.

He's in Kentucky, she'd be too skeered to go there.

You could try making a temporary repair using JB Weld.

So I received and installed my new evaporation canister today,cleared alarms and did a full reboot with taper mini but my “check gas cap” warning will not go away. And thoughts or suggestions?

Check around the canister for any other broken lines. Also, some vehicles have to go through several cycles to get lights out. Honestly, if it were me, I'd disconnect the batteries for a short time to see if that clears it.

Thanks I’ll give that a try

Is it a permanent code? If it is it needs drive cycles to clear.

disconnecting the battery worked !! Thanks so much for the help

Yes, disconnecting the battery cables from main battery, then separating the aux battery cables from the main battery cables and leaving off for ten minutes does a hard reboot of the system.
It can take 24-48 hours for everything to update and be fully functional again.
