It is not the cabin air filter. There is a vapor/fuel leak some where in the system. Could be fuel line / hose or could be the charcoal conister clogged (some models), particularly if you over filled the fuel tank and left the car in the Sun for a while, then fuel expands and ends-up fouling the vapor canister.
