I have a P0441 code, I did a smoke test and found a leak above the gas tank. Will cutting an access hatch over the fuel pump help seeing a hose that might be cracked? All of the pictures I saw online show only metal fuel lines and no rubber that I would believe where a leak would occur from rotten hose. How far do the metal fuel tubes go until a hose connection is found. Can you reach any tubes through a hatch or should I cut a second hatch closer to the vapor canister?

 

The canister can be accessed from the drivers side fender well. take it off and you will have the canister.SFC.......

 

It could also be the purge valve to the cannister as well. I'm less likely to thing it has anything to do with a gas line but rather the evap system itself. As for the leak at the top of the tank is it a line or maybe the seal around the pump housing at the top of the tank that's leaking.

 

I put a new purge valve and canister all the hose were connected to the canister. Must have a loose hose going to the fuel pump.

 

Then check the fuel return line that can throw a P0441 as well.

 

If you can smell gas be very carful cutting that trap door. Any sparks and it wil ruin your whole day.
