evap system question.

if I apply smoke to the intake manifold, will it show leaks at the evap canister under the body? there be a leak somewhere back there and I was going to make a DIY smoke machine out of a paint can. I strongly suspect it's where the rubber and metal vent line are joined. It's damp, but I want to be sure before I go monkeying around back there.

Need to apply smoke to the evap system. Can't just go to the intake. You need to ground the vent or pinch it off.

there should be a service port, kinda looks an a/c service port but with a green cap by the firewall

What are you working on? Some Chryslers have weird evap stuff on them.

01 will have a service port, but if your smelling fuel, you should be able to see the leak

 

[nick86jeep]

also check around the fuel pump gasket

 

[87manche]

no leaky around the sending unit.

there was slight dampness where the rubber meets the metal hard line that goes into the charcoal canister.
I assumed that was where it was, but I wanted to smoke test the whole thing before I started monkeying with it.
Nothing more than 0455 gross evap leak. It's not manifold because it runs just fine. It took 3 days from when I first smelled fuel to when it popped the code. Funny that it still reported the evap readiness monitor as green...

Light a match and move around fuel lines. You will know when you find leak

So I'm at O'Hare waiting to get on 2 flights to a rural dirt town in Mexico just to most likely spend half my vacation drinking and half working on the "NEW" XJ. I think this forum is getting to me
