My s10 chevy p/u has a leak on the evap canister, I need to know where is it located in the motor

evap vent failures. are common.
even over filling the fuel tank.
the canister is near fuel tank just in front of it.
has its own mount. and 3 hoses.
all hoses must be good. and in place. no cracks.

2000 year example

Evap leak..... more than likely it’s an evap sensor or solenoid that’s is the problem.

It's located under the vehicle back behind the fuel tank , Installed in the canister ! Remove the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve from the canister !
Rotate the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve counterclockwise in order to release it from the locked position.
Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle . Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister harness electrical connector (2) from the EVAP vent solenoid valve. Clean away any debris that may be present around the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve.
Remove the EVAP canister bolt. Lower the EVAP canister.

Code 300 is for a random miss which may be tough to track down.
Code 442 is for a small leak detected in the EVAP system and 446 is for a problem with the performance of that system. The EVAP system vents fumes from the gas tank to the vapor canister. Sometimes the small leak is the gas cap not being on tight, and sometimes it is a component or hose in the system.

the EVAP canister is located under the car on the drivers side above the gas tank. that particular code could mean anything as far as the EVAP system goes. it could be anything to you overfilling your gas tank to your EVAP canister needing to be replaced to the small hose under the hood having a pin-sized hole in it. the most effective way to find the problem is to take it to an ASE certified shop or dealer and have them run a FULL scan of your system, if you havent already. about the only way to find a small leak is to have a mechanic run smoke though the EVAP system.

The canaster it self is located on the drivers side rear of the wheel near the bumper has three hoses connecting to it 1 goes to the rollover valve on the fuell tank 1 to the canister vent solenoid on the member over the spare tire and the other 1 to the canister purge solenoid located on the mid left side of the intake manifold . What codes do you get ?

Which code specifically? Do not assume you need a new solenoid. Our recommendation will depend on the specific code and some troubleshooting results. I usually recommend checking over all the EVAP vacuum lines and the gas cap too whenever there is a purge valve code. Check the vacuum lines at the cannister in the left rear bumper. I will paste info on the purge solenoid below.

P0440 Evaporative emission (EVAP) system - malfunction

P0441 Evaporative emission (EVAP) system - incorrect flow detected

Possible causes: Hose connection(s), intake leak, EVAP canister purge valve

P0442 Evaporative emission (EVAP) system - small leak detected

Possible causes: Hose connection(s), intake leak, EVAP canister, EVAP canister purge valve

P0443 Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve - circuit malfunction

Possible causes: Wiring, EVAP canister purge valve, ECM

P0444 Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve -open circuit

Possible causes: Wiring open circuit, EVAP canister purge valve, ECM

P0445 Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve -short circuit

Possible causes: Wiring short to positive, EVAP valve

Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid

Description & Operation
The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid (DCP) regulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP canister to the intake manifold. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the solenoid.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot start time delay, the PCM does not energize the solenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged. The PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop operation.
The engine enters closed loop operation after it reaches a specified temperature and the time delay ends. During closed loop operation, the PCM cycles (energizes and de-energizes) the solenoid 5 or 10 times per second, depending upon operating conditions. The PCM varies the vapor flow rate by changing solenoid pulse width. Pulse width is the amount of time that the solenoid is energized. The PCM adjusts solenoid pulse width based on engine operating condition.
Removal & Installation
The duty cycle evaporative (EVAP) canister purge solenoid is located in the engine compartment near the brake master cylinder.

1. Disconnect electrical connector at solenoid.
2. Disconnect vacuum lines at solenoid.
3. Lift solenoid slot from mounting bracket for Removal & Installation.

To Install:

1. Position solenoid slot to mounting bracket.
2. Connect vacuum lines to solenoid. Be sure vacuum lines are firmly connected and not leaking or damaged. If leaking, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set with certain emission packages.
3. Connect electrical connector to solenoid.

EVAP cannister location:

i have not seen a evap canister need to be replaced . i belive it is located near the fule tank . the proublem is most likly the evap control valve or a leak . i use a smoke machine to locate leaks

on the drivers side behind the gas tank under the truck bed.

Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0442 indicates that a fuel vapor leak has been detected [as small as 0.10 cm (0.04 inch)] in the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system.
Note: Prior to performing the following diagnosis inspect the Canister Vent Solenoid (CV) for contamination. A situation may exist where contamination holds open the Canister Vent (CV) solenoid enough to set DTC P0442 and also plugs the port to atmosphere enough to keep system from being vented quickly.

• After market parts and accessories nonconforming to the EVAP system specifications.
• Damaged, cross threaded or loosely installed fuel filler cap.
• Small holes or cuts in fuel vapor hoses/tubes (EVAP canister tube, EVAP canister outlet tube or EVAP return tube) in the EVAP system.
• Loose fuel vapor hose/tube connections to EVAP system components.
• EVAP system component [EVAP canister purge valve, fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor, canister vent (CV) solenoid, fuel vapor control valve tube assembly or fuel vapor vent valve assembly] seals leaking.
• CV solenoid partially open when commanded closed.
• EVAP canister leaking.
• Check for presence of fuel filler cap.
• Verify that the CV solenoid is properly seated on the EVAP canister (if possible).
• Visually inspect for cut or loose connections to fuel vapor hoses/tubes in following locations:
  • EVAP canister to EVAP canister purge valve.
  • EVAP canister to fuel vapor vent valve assembly.
  • fuel vapor control valve tube assembly to fuel tank (if applicable).
