    Hmm . . . none as yet, that's why i'm here . . .
    If the evap canister is suspect for a filling issue, will that have any effect on the fuel gauge?

    It shouldn't no. The fuel gauge is using a Variable resistor sensor and a float that moves the wiper across the resistor windings.

    The evap canister has no connection to the fuel gauge circuit other than the battery being common point.
