Ive had an small EVAP leak code for close to 4 months now with out being able to locate any bad hoses or lines. Because of this I assumed it was somewhere above the fuel tank.
Today I filled up, drove 7 miles to work, didn't notice anything. Walking to my car after an 8 hour day I could smell gas from 10 feet away and sure enough there was a massive puddle of gas below the tank skid. The skid was very damp and it was obvious gas had been dripping out of the drain holes.
A fix is definitely going to require dropping the tank, but I don't have a transmission lift readily available.
Is it possible this is still EVAP related? Or does this have to be filler hose or fuel pump gasket related?
Also am I correct in believing with a more full tank, vapor pressure will be higher, thus exacerbating the evap leak issue? If thats the case I'm hoping to nurse the issue for awhile longer by just not filling all the way until I can find a tranny lift..
thanks for any insight, you guys always give me peace of mind when picking up a wrench..
