Default Vent valve solenoid location

Newbie here.
I have a 2002 Express 1500 5.0v-8 it tossed a P0449 code.
Picked up the new vent valve solenoid but can't find the location to replace it. Any ideas on where it would be located on the van?

On top of the tank? On the engine under the "dog house"? I know where the fuel pump and filter are located on/near the front of the tank but this solenoid must be pretty well hidden. Either that or I'm just old and bling. Thanks, Bob

Kinda forgot to post that I found it. It's actually mounted to the dust/dirt/water shield that covers the fuel pump. It actually sits between the pump and shield. Can't see it from under the van unless you use a mirror to "peer" over the cover. That entire assembly mounts about 18" in front of the gas tank. The evap canister mounts on top of the front of the gas tank. I was hoping I wouldn't have to drop the tank. Missed that bullet. Thanks, Bob
