My sister has done that and had a CEL pop up.
Once fuel instead of vapors enters the canister it takes forever to clear.
So she comes home last week and says,"It took me forever to pump in the last $0.75" I said, "So you are back to topping it off when you know you failed emissions last time because of that?" "No, I wasn't" "Yes you were"
She finally has a light bulb moment...
Just a thought.
When the pump kicks off give it up. It ain't gonna give you another day's worth of fuel anyway.

I'm cut from the same cloth as you, it clicked, kits done. I did go and check all the hoses and lines and plugs to the EVAP soleniod and saw nothing awry.

Heh, I wish that was the problem but shes been well over 60 quite a bit.

I don't think its minor affect matters in my situation (the effect is minor, its based on cat efficiency to offer up minor fuel trim changes for emissions purposes only), the fact its not reporting matters. The Bank 2 one is reporting 99.2 percent fuel burn, Bank 1 is reporting N/A, hence the monitor doesn't set and the car won't pass. Remember I don't have any codes and theres nothing wrong with the primary sensors they are operating correctly. I don't want to start throwing aftermarket parts at the car that are not and shouldn't be needed. For 40 bucks I could just get a new downstream sensor, that could fix it, unless my problem is somehow worse.
