EVAP system leak large. what can i do to remedy this? Mike, this seems like a question for you.

Disco Mike · 11-06-2006, 07:13 AM

Have you checked your fuel cap for a pressure loose? Othere then that, the only thing it could be, I believe, would be a small crack in one of the fuel hoses near the tank. Your are venting off pressure so the leak is not going to be fuel but air pressure.
Hope tis helps.

i have checked my fuel cap and it seems fine. is there any way for me to check and know for sure? and how can i check the fuel lines?

Disco Mike · 11-06-2006, 11:33 AM

Some shops and the dealerw will have a testing device to check your cap, as for the hoses, you are just going to have to crawl under the truck and inspect all the line, migh even want to pull the inspection plate for the fuel pump and look thru there .
Good luck,
Mike

does that require me lowering the fuel tank? could it be my purge valve?
