Came across this youtube short of a 21 suburban z71 having an expensive evap failure early on from poor vent filter placement. In having a 21 escalade I'm going to have the same setup and same expensive problem. I'll get under mine and check soon.
I think I'll just wrap it around with a red shop rag then zip tie it or use steel wire since I see it has cuts where it could wrap around in to grip and check it every oil change unless i get it dirty before then. What terrible place to put it at. I've driven it in the mud I think 5 or 6 times so that's worrying but I think I'll be ok. But Gm does market the z71 shown in the video as an offroading suv.
If you also have this same gen of gm suv that began in the 21 model year I'd look into covering it with a rag so it still breathes and replacing it however often you get the underside dirty. I'm not paying that much to fix it, with labor added to the $700 part cost it's likely a grand though most shops upcharge parts on the invoice.
