Yup. I suppose that the dealer could have done it right, maybe some other part of the evaporative emission system went bad. About that I will worry when and if the CEL light prompts a scan that is code P0440 again.

I have heard that it's not good to overfill the 960 tank, unlike the 240s. Usually I put in a bit more to get the gallons bought to be in even tenths. Also, after "click-off" the 960 will hold far less than the 240.

My understanding of the operation of the charcoal cannister contains no relationship to having an over-full or empty gas tank. How do they relate?
Maybe my understanding is in error - been there before.

Regards,

Bob
