After months and months of no codes I got these two this morning. Only big difference is I generally fill my tank about when the gauge is pointing to 6. Today I let it run down a lot more maybe to 2 or even under. No low fuel light and nowhere near empty.
Gas Cap is new (1 year old), my canister is located in back of the headlight, driver' side. The bigger hose up top was in a sorry state and I repaired it with duct tape. That big hose, where does it go, is it the infamous J hose and if ordering the replacement will giving them the VIN get me the right hose? I'll probably order a purge control valve anyway. Where is the shut off valve? My car is and AWD so top of the fuel tank is tough. I have a borescope, should I be able to snake it via where the fuel filter is and possibly see the hoses at the top of the tank? I'm going to fill the tank and clear the codes and see if maybe it just stays away. I hit 110 MPH this morning, just not paying attention and following some Mustang so I guess the thing is running pretty much OK.

Reset the light, filled it with gas and have run it down to about "6" or so twice and the light isn't coming back. I'm thinking it is just a little too sensitive analyzing the data that controls weather to set a CEL or not. Not gonna worry about it for now, up to 25.2 mpg on the computer and 4000 miles since a last time reset so it is running OK.
