    EVAP Explained! It's one of the most common OBDII trouble codes, thanks to loose or leaky gas caps, vent valves, purge valves, and solenoids. But did you ever wonder why? In this video, Any goes to the white board to explain the EVAP system, what parts throw those DTC codes, and why.

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    • @Alex-gj3ch
      @Alex-gj3ch Před rokem

      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

    • @londen3547
      @londen3547 Před rokem +4

      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.

    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!

    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.

    I may have a leaky tank hose or breather. My gas cap used to go "pshh" when i removed it. No more. Evap solenoid alows flow when energised. Blocks flow when disconnected. I just unplugged it and the breather line. I no longer smell gasoline either when i stop. Gas mileage went up 5 mpg... I believe it was sucking lots of air through the tank somehow.
