I tried Windex, nothing happened at all. Now I'm on to 409 as soon as I find some.

Don't have any Zainos handy, not sure it's easily available in my smaller town....any similar product? I was thinking oil on oil would work and that may be what makes the zainos tire dressing work. I tried TrimShine, nothing...
Maybe GooGone might dissolve the oil distillates in the gas.
Keep the suggestions coming.....

I'm running out of time to take it to a pressure wash, but that's my fault.
Hi kat The canister i'm relating you is the charcoal canister,is a black looking box located right next to the gas tank,the job of the canister is to store the fuel vapors 'till the ECU is ready to vent those vapors to the intake system for burning process.

Is you take a close look at the fuel filler you can notice a small vent located next at the left side,it has a half moon shape ;Whenever you over fill fuel goes into that vent straight to the canister.

That situation triggers the P0446 code (canister malfuntion,clooged,blocked,electrical circuit malfuction,etc )

That canister should not be filled with raw liquid fuel at all other wise it will stop working.

Hope it doesn't happen to you,sometimes a mech can cleaned & the canister works again with no issues,other wise a new canister is need ($ 198)
