Gas cap problem... I hope.

I can now confirm that the vent line between tank and carbon canister should be open both ways. Shut off valve was ok but the breath line from shut off valve to carbon canister was pinched between fuel tank and body of the car. I managed to move it so the air can now escape when needed.
I left the carbon canister connected to the venting system but capped the connection from carbon canister to intake. Hopefully no more fuel smell in the cabin.

So I assume you had the interior panel, covering the filler tube and valve, off for inspection? I had a look underneath the car and indeed the vent line seems prone to getting pinched the way it is routed between the tank and body.

Yes, everything is under that sheet metal cover where the fuel filler neck is. It's actually very easy to get into.
I'll let you all know how it works once I get to drive the car.

Removed the fuel sender assembly today.. and it was bent. No signs of crash damage or anything like that near the fuel tank. Maybe it's because of the faulty breath line and excessive vacuum in the tank?
I fixed it the best I could.. have to drive it and then see if it needs to be replaced.
