Over the past few weeks, there’s been a strong gasoline smell coming from the driver side. I almost thought it was a gas leak since I had a tiny pinch in exhaust pipe which was leaking some condensation / water. Upon scanning it for codes I found it had: P0455 NISSAN – EVAP Control System Gross Leak Detected.
After doing some research and testing, I determined that I needed to replace the gas cap and Vapor Canister Vent Valve. Since I bought the car I’ve never changed the gas cap. The car has over 100K miles. Both are super easy to replace and do not require any special tools. Just need to jack up the car on the driver side to get to the valve (video included in post courtesy of 1A Auto Parts).
I personally went with the aftermarket parts. I have an Arch Auto parts store that is very close to me and they are super friendly. If any issues, I can easily return with no problem. Plus they are open 7 days a week.

OLD STUFF
This is where the other end of the hose goes once you install new valve. I was a little confused at first but was able to find it goes here. You can see from the photo above.
