Just wanted to give a quick update as promised.

Long story short the manufacturer didn’t do much in the way of help, however, after many phone calls and the insurance inspector validating my arguments  I managed to get a half assed apology and the emissions system replace.

The answer I got was they found a red fluid in the vapor canister and hose that looked granular but dissolved when touched (oil and water theory that I presented when arguing  plastic wasn’t  placed in my tank). Waiting on the seat frame that was bent by the seatbelt buckle, which was the first part ordered (and almost what killed the sale to begin with) and new USB ports so it’s still in the shop.  I’m curious to see if they still give me the sample I requested when I pick it up.

Basically I am getting my lemon custom built from the ground up. Sad part is the new car smell is most likely gone after being in the shop for 3 weeks…

Thanks for all the input it helped me greatly, you guys are awesome!!

When they start pulling stuff like saying the system is contaminated, always ask for a sample.
It often shows them that you are willing to take a stand and get other people involved.

Wait. What?
They found red fluid in the vapor canister?
That's a whole lot different than the fuel system or the tank.
The vapor canister pulls VAPOR from the tank.
If something got into it, then it should be covered under the emissions warranty, cause the vapor canister failed.
Even if the fuel tank was contaminated with something, since the vapor canister is designed to only pull vapor, then it shouldn't cross contaminate.

Absolutely nothing they are saying makes any sense.
