Does it happen after the truck sets for a while? I had a sticking evap pruge valve that would let gas vapor flood the manifold after the truck sat for a while. Usually ok at cool morning(less gas expansion) but would have long cranking time and run rough for a few seconds after starting in the afternoon(higher temp more gas expansion). Quick check, just pull of the evap solenoid purge valve and blow in tube connection, if you can blow thru it its leaking.

couldn't you just get a good solid piece of plastic and epoxy it over the hole?

It should hold a little better than that,but it's not a big deal, and that would be the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel pump or leaking injectors, which has nothing to do with a evap canister with no charcoal and a hole.

If you're trying to ghetto that canister back together, why can't you just get some charcoal at a pet store. I remember in the old days I used to get charcoal for aquarium filters and such. I dunno if they still have that stuff these days.
