Help with EVAP leak

[Jrhodes]

Anybody in Colorado near Longmont with Techstream that could run diagnostics for an evap leak? 2008 4R limited v6 CEL is on codes - p0456, p0441, p0455.

Gas cap has been recently replaced. I have no pressure on fuel cap release, and I was smelling fuel prior to CEL coming on. I don't have access to a garage, and since it has been so cold I have been unable to check the hoses around the canister.

I am asking here because I cannot currently afford shop rates for the diagnosis, but I can pay cash for your time, or pay in beer whichever you prefer! I have tools and can probably complete the repair myself.

I work doing food delivery right now and this is my only vehicle. Any time or assistance anyone can provide is deeply appreciated. Thank you!

I will definitely post updates when I have something. I have tried to do as much research as possible up to this point. My ADHD brain gets overwhelmed with too much research & and testing procedures though. Since its warm today I am going to check the hose connections around the canister.

Only thing I’ve had done recently was my muffler was replaced. I was going to wire wheel the axle and I noticed that the exhaust was pushed up against the cable for the charcoal canister, melted it a bit. Most likely caused my error code; i had to use some universal hangers to push the exhaust off of it. I cleared the codes, hopefully no more cel.
