No smoke machine? Me neither. I did find my leaks with an old medical nebulizer/respiratory therapy pump that produces a few PSI. I hooked it up where Oz did, sealed the vent tube with needle nose vice grips and listened for the leak. I also sprayed some soapy water and looked for the bubbles. You may be able to find such a pump at a thrift store or E-bay,

I have a 2014 Buick LaCrosse 3.6L and have two codes (P0445, P0442), which caused me to fail my emissions tests in November of last year. Ugh! I installed a vent valve solenoid in the charcoal canister and couldn't make it flush to twist into the canister because of the catalytic converter pipe being in the way, preventing the tank from coming further down. So I think I'll go to a shop here in Chicago that will let you rent a bay and I'll be able to access it better because it'll be on a lift. I really appreciate these videos because they're so helpful and informative. After seeing your video, perhaps the O-ring is part of the issue as well because I've replaced the gas cap already.

OZ your a awesome mechanic, thanks for your videos!! I just had my heads machined on my 05 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Z71 because I had a couple of bolt heads broke on the driver side manifold. So did a complete head job because had to replace driver side head which are aluminum & had problem getting those broke cast iron bolts out, also one had already messed the threads up which led me to getting a new drivers side head & having both machined to even everything out. Anyway codes was cleared & drove home to find it still throwing this EVAP code. Luckily you posted this the next day, but my problem was a aftermarket Locking Gas Cap, but watching this I went ahead & ran your test & had exact problem as well!! Thanks for all your videos bud, wish you were a local mechanic here, but your videos are a tremendous help!! (👍#1 Life Subscriber)

Oz, thanks for all the tutorial info. I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica and it is giving po455 code. On inspection at the tank after replacement of gas cap, I found the gross leak possible coming from fuel filler tube to inlet tank tube. I have looked for a video to show how to replace the fuel filler tube on this vehicle. But with no success in doing so. Do you have a video on how this is done or can you point me in the direction of a video that shows what I am after on the 2005 Pacifica? Thanks again for information ahead of time.

Would a restriction cause a whoosh of gas vapor to come out from the fill neck when removing the gas cap ? That was happening on my '02 DOHC Taurus several times until it stopped on it's own. But I now have a gas smell whenever I drive the car, and I traced it to the rear of the car with an electronic gas sniffer. I don't know exactly where it's coming from yet though. Any ideas what could be going on ?
