2005 Suburban 1500 LT - Smelling Gas
Hello all,
First time posting a problem here. I recently got a P0449 Evap Emissions code. I replaced the canister and have had zero issues with the code coming back. Since that time, however, I'm noticing more and more of a gas smell, both inside the vehicle and out. Last weekend, I crawled under and noticed from fuel collection on the bottom of the tank, coming down from the drivers side.
Could I have damaged the line/connection/seal from the EVAP canister to the fuel tank when I replaced the part? I used the existing line/connection. I have a spare hose/clamps and am considering replacing the existing line, but first wanted to see if this was a common issue and/or easy fix.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
CB9

You might want to do a smoke test on the evap lines to see if there is a problem with the line leaking. Either way, this will tell you if the line you are concerned about or it could be another line. Unfortunately, gas odors can come from a number of areas. You may want to also check undet the hood and take a look at the fuel pressure regulator.
Good luck with your repair.
