Hey guys today i drove the car for a couple hours running errands,i noticed there was a fuel odor smell where the charcoal canister if i put my head inside there to smell the canister. I also hear sizzling where the filler neck where the gas goes. I dont kno if this is an issue,the car runs great n the fuel pump primes good n starts fast too. Thank u guys, p.s. is the canister supposed to smell
like that if i smell it

 

If you topped off the tank fuel might have gotten in there, either way the cannister is the most likely suspect. I've never had that problem, but there are periodic posts about it. I suppose you could always check the purge solenoid/valve and see if that checks out and make sure no lines are off the sender or cannister, etc...

 

If the tank was low, an overheating fuel pump may be increasing the vapor load beyond the capabilities of the charcoal canister. The canister should be removing the gasoline vapor, so it can be pulled into the intake manifold and burned in the engine. You shouldn't smell anything at the rear of the car.

When I had a problem with fuel smell at the rear of the car, it was a cracked rubber line from the tank to the canister, but the canister itself did not smell.

 

Hey Kevin my evap solenoid is new, the fuel tank vent valve is new,n the evap canister valve is new,but to Freds post i definitely think its the hoses could be cracked but my tanks at the half way mark i never run it below the 1/4 mark
