Its below your fuses in your engine bay but the only really good way to get at it is to remove your splash guard on the driver side front wheel well, and you will see it on the left side when your looking at the suspension.

according to this thread, the diagram shows it's up top of the gas tank??? unless thats a 93-97 f-body shown on the diagram?

Pretty sure drivers side rear.....not on top of the tank.

Na I have pulled my gas tank two time to replace my fule pump and its not on the gas tank, on my 98 Trans Am its under the driver side engine bay fuses. It should be the same for your car to I would think.

whoops i did a little reasearch and i was thinking of the smog pump not the evap sorry about that

but I think Rob is right its under the driver side rear, sorry about the mix up again.

not sure could be for the LT1 but I have never taken out a LT1's gas tank so im not really sure, I just know that mine is not there, i'll try to find some more info on it for you.

ur evap canister is by the driver side rear wheel well? is it visible?

**Customta98** · 07-30-2009, 06:21 PM

No its not visable but I just went to autozone.com to their repair guides and found some info that will help (I went on there thinking well this will be a wast of time but I guess I was wrong) check this out >>>>Evaporative Emission Controls<<<<< Read it carefully it should help

evap canister is in the rear drivers quarter panel just behind the fill tube.

i'm guessing i'm gonna have to remove the whole wheel well to get to it? cause it think on the lt1's the evap canister is by the filler neck but on the ls1 it's not

I took a look at mine when I was bleeding my brakes and its in the Left Rear wheel well just a plastic splash guard at the back of the wheel well it comes out with a couple of fasteners and you have access to it. You can reach into the wheel well at the back and feel it.
