Thought about buying one of those just incase I get an EVAP leak someday. everyone should have one right? lol


If she comes back after that answer there are a couple things she could check, Gas cap seal good? rubber connector hose to the tank underneath, the hose connectors on the EVAP unit up front...to start with.

Some of the hoses used for the evap system tend to rot pretty bad. Visually check all of the hoses and replace any that look sketchy.
