Default 96 tahoe charcoal canister help

I have a 96 tahoe with the 5.7 and I got a code for the charcoal canister. I cant find a replacement in my town, only a filter. If I can buy a filter I'm assuming I can open the canister correct? Is there anyone who has done this that may have any helpful info you could share with me? Thank you for your time in advance.

Its not servicable. If its not working properly, you have to replace it. What OBD II code do you have?

Might not be the carb cannister. Here is a list that can pull a P0441 code:
  • Missing fuel cap
  • Stuck open or closed purge valve
  • Defective or damaged fuel cap
  • Distorted, damaged or cracked Fuel Tank Filler Neck
  • Torn or punctured Evaporative system hose(s)
  • Defective Fuel Tank Sending Unit gasket or seal
  • Split or damaged Carbon Canister
  • Defective Evaporative Vent Valve
  • Defective or damaged fuel tank
I hope this helps you solve your issue.
