Vapor Canister Replacement

[954Runner]

My 4runner has been leaking gas so i took it in. It seems to not be venting right because when I undo the gas cap u can hear all of the vapors rush out and it has been leaking gas by the vapor canister. I took it in the Toyota dealer and they said the vapor canister is clogged up, sound right? I'm no mechanic but I can do msot things on my own and I figured it cant be too hard to replace. Any pointers? Can I unclog the old one or do I need a brand new one?

Thanks for your help!!

Gas leaking from the vapor can ususally means a problem with the return or vapor lines from the fuel tank.
The canister itself is simple to replace if necessary.

Can I just clean the old one or something tho? The new part is over $200. The Toyota Dealer said it is the Vapor Canister so...

I don't think they're serviceable.

I'd get one from a junk truck and try it.
