I drive a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer. 2.4L CVT, 128k miles; runs really well for its age. Need to replace serpentine belt and front ball joints. But… Whenever I fill it up with gas, the pump stops too quickly. I know it has to do with the fuel emissions system, but I don’t if it’s an old canister (replacement would cost over $200 either with AutoZone or stock), faulty relay, or something else? How do I find where the source of the problem is? Then how would I replace it?

Is your Check Engine Light on? If so, you have codes stored. Get a scan tool and codes will be read.
@justin-shepherd I used the scan tool, and no codes were read. So is it a canister issue?
It may not necessarily be bad, the vent valve may be partly blocked. I'm pretty sure Scotty has seen instances of certain spiders' webs blocking the vent port. Apparently, gas emissions are very similar to certain spiders' pheromones. Check the evap canister vent valve before spending that kind of money. EVAP canisters aren't cheap.
