canister behind drivers side rear wheel purpose

[hollowdweller]

I dropped my fuel tank a few minutes ago and noticed one of the black hoses off the fuel tank wasnt plugged into the canister that sits behind the rear wheel on the drivers side. I installed a PPRV delete awhile back and guess I forgot to hook it back up. Every since then I've to crank on the car a few times (usually 3 or 4 times, kinda embarresing really, before I can get it to fire up. I was told this was because the valve I deleted was allowing the fuel to run back into tank while the car sat for a few days. Could this hose that wasnt connected also be causing my start up issues? What exactly does the canister do? I believe its called the (EECS)
Evaporative Emission Control System

The PPRV delete is the reason for the start up issue, Turn the key on and off 3 times before trying to start it up and that should fix you issue.

I forget, what does PPRV stand for again?

After I decided to do a PPRV delete on mine.....I put it back in. Just wasn't worth the hassle v/s the benefit of the delete. It was a waste of time and effort.
