Purge Valve with Filter?

[Milliam]

I'm pretty sure I have been fighting the dreaded purge valve issue for awhile, but now it has gotten to the point where I must fix it.

I recall researching this issue a few months ago and found a post where someone replaced the whole system with just fuel hose and a purge valve from some other vehicle (volvo maybe)? They also added an inline filter into the setup to try and catch some of the crap that eventually sticks the valve. I'm not sure if that thread was on this site or a Focus site, but I was hoping someone might have it saved here and could point me to it. I've spent hours using the search function trying to find it as well as just searching the whole internet.

While searching the whole internet I see that some people replace the newer cars with a 2014 valve instead (mine is a 2018). Is that the way to go?

Thanks
