In mine, it's a $300 part for a car worth maybe $800.

Not sure if diesels even have a canister? Diesel doesn't evaporate like gasoline does.
Diesel's have no evap system. My 2011 Golf TDI I always filled to the brim. My 2015 XV Crosstrek Subaru gasser, first click and I'm done. Not going to take any chance on killing the charcoal canister.
