Thanks so much. Best I’ve seen on the subject.
Can this have long term effects if gone unfixed?
So my 2001 Ford F250 is needing the Fuel Vapor Tube Assembly replaced. My issue is I cant find an OE part to replace it with. The original tube assembly is 1/2 O.D. My question will it matter if I replace the Fuel Tube Assembly with a 3/8 O.D tube. If it will matter then whats your advice on fixing it. Im going to try some pull a part places
My wife has a 2004 Pathfinder and she got a p0455 code (evap gross leak, large evap leak). Took to the dealer, they changed charcoal canister, vent valve, purge valve. Then p0455 code went away, then we got p1456 code (small evap leak). Dealer then changed gas cap, still got p1456 code. Took back to dealer after 1 month, they charged $185 diagnostic fee, said it was stuck vent valve. I researched, bought new fuel tank pressure sensor and vent valve. I installed both, still got p1456 code. On my work day off, I got under car, removed canister (I tested it, good). I noticed rubber hose coming from gas tank to canister was stretchy, so I bought new fuel hose. I cut back a little bit of the purge line rubber hose (it was stretchy). Also I bought new clamps (ones where you use screwdriver to tighten). Installed the new fuel hose (that connects to the canister), 3 new clamps for the 3 hoses that attach to the canister (vent, purge and fuel). Bingo!!! No more codes pop up (no more CEL check engine light). No more evap leaks. Hope this helps somebody.
Before you replace the valve or other components check your lines! lines are known to crack and dry rot and it will be a lot cheaper to fix.
This is the best and clearest explanation I have seen of this. Thank you!
I agree ☝️
One more tip on the gas cap, make sure it is clean and free of debris. If it's a bit dirty, just get some alcohol wipes and clean both the inside of the cap and the rim of the filler neck. That is one of the most common problems I've seen with the P0440 code
Great info. Calm clear description. I'm 75 year old woman trying figure out problem with my car. Mechanics charge so much so want to informed before take my car in. Wish I could still do simple maintenance one my car.
Love your videos. You explain them in every day terms and do not make us feel inferior because of our lack of knowledge. Keep up the great work.
This video explains a lot. I had 2 different shops that did smoke test, and neither could find it. The last shop suggested going to the dealer. I have a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and experience with what may be causing this small leak on this type of vehicle. Code is a po456. Some type of pump was replaced, which in this video I didn’t see or hear about a pump. It was done before the smoke test. I think the pump and labor was under 100, and they told me it may or may not be the problem. 2 smoke test later , I still have a problem.
Awesome video, I was in the Automotive field for 25 years, mostly sales, but your videos always are easy to understand and always right on the money for the diagnostics he talks about.
Just a note,
You guys at 1A auto are definitely, #1A.
I disassembled my 350 to remove my heads and assembled it just but watching your video.
Just recently I watched the video for Evan code and again. Simple and thorough.
Thanks guys

I love 1a auto, these are the exact the videos I look for when in need of help fixing my own vehicle
Last week, I got a PO446 code on my 2011 GMC Terrain 3.0L, Took it to my repair shop. They used smoke to identify an evap leak coming from my gas cap, so I ended up paying them $62 for a new gas cap, $220 overall for the repair (labor, part, and Credit Card processing fee!. After one week, the code reappeared, so I'm going back to the shop to see if the leak is coming from the gas cap area or other places. Thanks for the video. Well done.
Thank you for this simple and easy and right to the point video 👍
this was the most soothing and informative video.... came here to learn about the EVAP system, subscribed for the guy’s voice and great presentation. so chill! thank you!
+madi c. Thanks for the feedback!
Great video and explanation! Question!
Can a evap vacuum leak, have enough effect, on the rest of the vacuum system, to cause the transmission to code and shift a little hard? I found my vacuum leak to be at the base of the filler neck on our 2004 Colorado!
Your explanation was clear and good. Keep up the good work
Very easily and clearly explained. Thank you
Thanks for the Video. It helps to easily understand the EVAP system.
+Marcos Martinez Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Very simple and clear for eveybody that has some cars knowledges.Great job and thank you.
Extremely helpful. Now I know where to begin in solving my problem. Without this understanding it was hard to know where to begin.
+Everett Billingslea Thanks for the feedback!
I found it easier to take the bolt out and then remove the connections. Good video, helped me out.
A concise yt video that explains what I needed. Didn't know that was a thing. Great video!
I got that dam engine light on, went to Auto Zone and got a report. P0443 your video helped me to understand thanks.
As an old, retired electrical engineer I am very impressed with your teaching skills. Repairing my cars is one of my hobbies, but sometimes I am getting stuck into hidden specific manufacturing problems, like a fuse found under the wax paper insolation on a small AC transformer. Anyhow, I would greatly appreciate if you could help me troubleshoot my 2003 BMW 745Li, which started with not accepting more than 1/2 tank fuel (except when dispensing very, very little at the time), and lately getting the so popular check engine light on with the P0444 code on it. I disconnected and tested the purge valve and seems to be perfectly fine, opening and closing promptly when applying 12v to it. It may be that the purge valve intake hose having a small leak at the connection to the other hose going to the charcoal canister is triggering the P0444 code, but I do not believe this has anything to do with the tank not accepting more than half fuel. BTW, there is no pressure, nor vacuum at the filling cap after driving the car. Could you please feed back with your expertise/experience on this?
Thanks a million,
Chris
I’m by no means a mechanic but I have a 2000 Ford ranger with P0455, a gross leak in the evap system. While doing some digging around I noticed my fuel filler tube was completely corroded and the rubber was very old. I’m planning on replacing this now and seeing if it can help keep fuel pressure due to the control valve and fix my rough start. While online I’ve seen people have the tube on their car be corroded as well or begin to leak gas whenever filling it up enough. It’s possible this is why you have to add the gas in very small spurts and why it doesn’t go past half
P0444 is “Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit Open.” You tested the valve itself so the circuit or the wire going to the valve has failed. Your charcoal canister is filled with gas because it's not being purged, which is why you are having trouble filling your gas tank. Of course I suspect you already know this.
Great tone for teaching Bro! Keep up the great work!
+D Man Thanks for the feedback!
Great, clear and helpful video. Thank you.
The explanation was crystal clear thanks.
thank you for taking the time to explain everything!!!
Awesome video. Really explained the EVAP system well so I can start to have mine diagnosed and fixed.

@@1AAuto How do you know how to test if your fix worked? Do you need a fancy scanner to get live data? Do you just delete code and wait to see if it comes back? Is there any live data I can check to see if the problem is resolved?
Very informative and helpful.
Thanks for sharing.
Just replaced my purge valve on my 4th Gen TL. I love your channel BTW
Thank you thank you thank you so much for this video. I've been fighting this evap problem for 2 and 1/2 years and now I finally understand it
+Dawn Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

Excelente explicación, muy acertada y exacta, muchas gracias.
Very clear and accurate! Thank you so much!
1A You are gentlemen and Scholars.
This video *really* helped me understand the evap system! Thanks
Great explainations. Thanks !
Thank you for this video! I got 97 W140 Benz and recently I got P0455 error and CEL. I'll try to check both purge valves (this car has two of them) and the gas cap. Other stuff I can't even touch since my garage is pretty narrow. Unfortunately, the charcoal canister is located behind the rear wheel liner. Can't even register the car while this CEL is present...
Good stuff, thanks for making this simple
Thanks for the good video. Very clear, and now I understand. Have a blessed day.

Thank you!! Just got the code today and now i know what to look for.
+Joseph F Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great video! What if your vehicle doesn't have a gas cap?
Awesome thank you. My vorvette has a code for blocked vent . Replaced the vent solenoid, and still has the code come back.
Vorvette lol 😂
i love thos type of videos 1 a auto parts good work
Serious Thanks for watching!
Well done... Great informative video.
Brilliantly easy to get. Thanks.
Great explanation, thanks!!
Great explanation. My 2015 Mini F56 B38 engine has code 190302: "fuel tank ventilation air system micro leak; leakage greater than 0.5mm". Symptoms: rough idle, and noticeable shaking while driving and longer start up after refueling (~5 seconds). Ordered purge valve hoping it will fix the problem. Let me know if anyone thinks it's something else, but I'm starting with purge valve since it's easier to access. Next on my list are the leak detection module and vent valve.
Any luck with the purge valve?
Happy Christmas 🎄 Thanks 👍
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
Thank you for the clear explanation
If I found lil black charcoal pebbles in Purge Valve Solenoid, is that from the purge valve canister or from the charcoal Vapor Canister? Thanks nd great video!
Thanks for the video guys! Question though, on the service record for a car I just bought it says that theres a broken evap hose. Is there one long hose that connects the whole system together or are there separate spots to look for? I have a 97 Rav4 thanks!
Thanks you explained how the system works
This was great- very simple. Thanks
+marksdad10 Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent explanation Sir!!!

Thank you for this detail. What a kind of signal electric to command valve of purge ( it is square wave or analog wave
Very clear video it help a lot thank you
Great explanation. Thanks so much.
Very good explanation thanks
You made it clear that the purge valve and vent control are in 2 different locations but are they the same part? I can only find vent control replacement on your website for 2012 altima 3.5
Nice job, very helpful
Excellent explanation!
perfect explanation well done
Good job my friend
That was a great video.
Thank you.
The purge valve and related system is easy to understand, when it opens the fumes are vacuumed into the intake stream. Tell me more about the vent: does it just vent to outside air or is it terminated in the system somewhere? Your diagram doesn't show exactly what it does.
Enjoyed your video. Great explanation of P0455 code. The check engine light on my 2014 Prius came on with the P0455 code. Upon checking I discovered my air filter was missing. I believe it was removed and not replaced when my oil was changed about a month ago at a local oil change service. Would this cause the P0455 code?
Just install new filter and see if code disapears. If not than its something else. 👍
I appreciate your explanation
Would this apply to older and newer vehicles as well?
One thing I did to help find leak after spraying everything with soap and water is I duct taped gas cap opening after removing the cap. Poked a little hole used compressed air in filler neck
Very helpful, thank you.
Even I understood, thank you for making this video.
Would you get the same code for a bad gas cap as you would for a faulty evap canister?
Hi ...yes the video help a lot to understand... Thank you
Fine teaching Video great job.
Thank you so much for your great details video
Excellent video
thorough explanation 👏 nice
