EVAP Canister/Fuel Filler Neck

[PatrizioD]

Hey all, been a while. Couple of things I couldnt find using search tools, and also couldnt find online after countless hours searching. Here's the issue: My CEL has been on since oh, early 2010. I've taken it to have the code read at several places, and they all say it's P0455, which I know is a large leak from the fuel system. I cant seem to find a diagram or picture of the location of the evap canister anywhere. Do I need to remove the gas tank to access it? I've already replaced the gas cap a few times to no avail, and am also considering replacing the fuel filler neck. Are there any special tips or tricks to getting this done? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe the evap canister is above the rear differential, but I could be wrong as I haven't been underneath mine in a while. The fuel tank, I believe, comes out from the trunk. Remove the trim and brace and you should be able to replace the filler neck with the tank still in the car.

Thanks man. Jacked her up and looked around the diff and sure enough, there was the canister. You can actually see it from the driver' side rear wheel, but it's pretty nondescript and therefore easy to miss. Car hasn't been running poorly or anything, but I do suspect my gas mileage is lower than it should be; hopefully the evap service I'm gonna do will change that.
