Message The CC was deleted per Robo's DIY. However,shortly thereafter a fuel odor I began to notice a distinct fuel odor in the garage after it was parked. I am certain the CC delete was done properly and in accordance with Robo's writeup.

Short of replacing the Charcoal Canister, is there any other fix?

The CC was deleted after adding aftermarket intercoolers. I want to keep the OEM location clear. Has anyone relocated the OEM CC to behind the wheelwell cavity (in front of DS door bulkhead). Is there a smaller CC that I might consider. All CC OEM hard plumbing remains in place. The rubber parts have been pulled.

I am nearly certain there is not a leak elsewhere. There is no fuel smell when engine is running; the fuel pressure holds at 35 plus for 15 to 30 minutes after shutting down; and there are no other signs that any system fuel leaks could be the cause of this odor except for the aforementioned CC delete.
