Adam,
How do you know your charcoal cannister
is clogged? Do you have a vacuum in the
fuel tank?
I have a slight vacuum in my '90 westy's
fuel tank. When I take off the gas cap,
there is a hissing sound.
I have wondered myself if I need a new
charcoal cannister.
Drilling a hole, removing the charcoal,
replacing it, and closing it with a
pipe plug sounds like a good idea to me.
ABS plastic cap and glueing might work also.
I guess you could buy a cheaper cannister
at a flaps, and remove the charcoal out of that
one, and refill your original one.
Any better source for charcoal?

The earlier "bus" ones are easy.they pry apart, but
these cylindrical ones
are molded shut..............I was doing to drill for
a pipe plug, drain it
out and refill, but wanted to be sure there was
nothing else i needed to
consider first.
