Eric, you may run across this all the time and think 'Meh, nobody wants to see this'.
But for those of us that don't see this on a daily (or at least regular basis) it's rather informative.
Thanks for posting it no matter how trivial you think it is.
I watch other car videos, but SMA is by far my favorite. Eric is a great mechanic. I would trust him fixing my stuff and I trust no one.
Thank you Eric. Damn Colorado's and evap codes, gotta love them. Thanks to your lady for joining in. Keep up the great info you provide.
Its just amazing to see all the rust and damage it does in the rust belt.
Glad I found this Channel. I have been watching for awhile now, and today I get a P0442 on my 09 GMC Canyon. I wish the was the 2.9L
always nice to see lovely MRS.O
The People always want to see Mrs. O.
You get a good laugh guarateed

Just kidding Love it all!!!

Hurray 4 Mrs O🇱🇷🎆
Your vids are great. You dont blab no stupid music and your very discriptive and you know what your talking about.
Please keep em coming
I always learn things from your videos, thank you
Thank you very much for taking the time out of your day to explain all the stuff and show in video in full detail grateful for it and will save people like me or everyday car owners a huge amount of time thank you
Experience pays off on this one. You called it even before the truck was on the lift. Hi Vanessa, thanks for helping to close out the video. :)
Great video. I am in the process of replacing a rusted out fuel tank on a 96 Jimmy and the guts fell out of the the line, just like you said it would. I thought I replaced all the rotten lines but when I when to run the pump for the first time, I quickly found a new bad spot.
That was cool. Learn something new everyday, being a shade tree mechanic it was ALL guess work. Needless to say I never worked on anything that didn't belong to me. I think that was a walnut pod. Thanks for the video.
I just one of these trucks, no issues yet.I always appreciate your videos.
Thank you Eric. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
EVAP videos are my favourite!
Nice video Eric. We don’t get to see the rust like you do here. More often here the evap stuff is vent solenoids and dust/dirt/fine sand plugging the filter. Desert dirt road driving stuff.
I just fixed this same problem on my 05’ Colorado, rotted out the ring and tabs on tank. Replaced with after market ring kit, thanks for the video
Finally my mysterious questions were answered. Thanks Eric
thanks for posting, Mrs O is always fun when she shows up. =)
Bonus weekend! Getting ready to shut it down and boom SMA video. Looks like someone has been working on that Evap...looked like new parts & lines. Man that crap rusts out so fast without protection. Every time I see rusted out crap I know I'm lucky working down here but it generates a lot of business. Hope you harvested a few deer!
I think you touched on a good idea there. Get one of those small cameras with a built in light that can snake in to hard to reach or see areas and view the area on a monitor. Would be way better than trying to get your head and shop light up in there. Better for those of us following along at home as well.
Great vid, you two guys can make a flat tire diagnostic cool!
Hello from Finland! Nice to have that smoke machine. Here is my trick how to find leak in EVAP system. Hook your scan tool to monitor fuel tank pressure sensor and use compressed air to find leak. Just blow the air to different components and when you see action on pressure sensor signal you find the sweet spot.
Very good Eric .you got good sense of humour .i enjoy your videos keep them coming .Jimmy west Australia regards to you family
We have the same issues with the rust up here too. When I fix them I lift the box off. I find it easier in the long run it is a good hight and I can test before I put it back together.
Love your videos... Keep up the good work.
G'day, Mr. O!! Yeah! Amazing! (Chevy Colorado - P0442 with a pretty "Large" EVAP Leak) In fact, the leak can even be from a hole as small as 0.04" in diameter. By the way... "My friend, he often played the violin with his wife, but she will never play second fiddle." Thank you very much, guys! The best! Cheers! :-)
I love the idea : Mrs O Entrance music - that is gold right there. What if she is holding a can of brake kleen ?? That might break the internet.... Glad i live far away, She would kill me for suggesting such a thing.
Great video,I got a Sonoma/s10 pickup with same code.good reason to get myself a smoke machine.🤘🤘
Would love to see a RV winterization video cowpoke!!
Take care and love your vids!!

Thanks a Lot Amigo Eric for Another Helpful Video Tutorial, May God Bless You....
Always find it funny the way cars will pop a small leak code for stuff like that. I had an escape with the fuel filler slashed wide open and all it set was a very small leak code.
Nice job Eric.
See the same stuff as you. Northwest Indiana.
Happy Thanksgiving my friend and to your family. Be safe and enjoy this day.
Thanks great video
There's Mrs.O,guess it's lunch time at SMA!good vid
Saturday evening SMA video sweet!
eric o = the dominator of the rust belt
Thanks for another video eric o
Thanks for the colorado diag, would luv to see thermostat replacement if u should ever do one on 3.5,3.7. Need mine replaced so I would like to see if u go from up top or through the wheel well, a good Turkey day to u and all the O family
That thumbnail looks like wreckage from the Titanic.
The car looks like it came from the bottom of the ocean aswell.
I though it were a scene from Aliens :)
Thanks for posting this. I know this a problem with my 2011 Colorado. I smell the fumes and have the same code. I wonder if this can also be causing my fuel system to lose pressure when sitting causing longer than normal crank times
Out here Bakersfield,CA Get those all time Good old p0442 ,most popular Here at Best Auto Service is Ford's P0174 with p0442 stuck open purge 😀 good vid Eric, Todd Best Automotive Service ,I hope have my channel up in December toddsmog I'm going Series on Odb 2 drive Cycles problems I/M program here in this state
There needs to be some sort of Mrs. O entrance music when she appears in a vid
Exselecte diagnostic amigo nice video. Good tech
Awesome video man!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Jeez, if that's a small leak then the fuel pump has to fall out for a large one! Thanks Eric and Vanessa!
you have a great channel man.. keep it up
good job finding the leak eric
super gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencia
Eric, what is the typical pressure applied to the evap system when testing. Thanks, and loved the vid.
Awesome video
Things we like on here, Because we are simple folk really,,, Eric doing his thing, the appearance of the break cleaner ( with dramatic sound effect ) and Mrs O ;) ... She always brings that little bit extra humor to the show ;) ,, So Mrs O , stop lurking around in the background ,, we all think your Awesome :) :)
I had the same motto of "don't touch notin" with refrigerant leaks. The service ports on residential a/cs are notorious leakers. So I would bust out the sniffer on the ports before touching them if I suspected a low charge.
Great video
I just dealing with evap stuff for the first time on a friends Suburban. In this case its a p1441 flow during non purge. I assume its seeing the tank pressure go down with the purge valve closed. I checked the purge valve and it flows slightly when I suck on it, so we are replacing that first.
ERIC ................ FABULOUS NEWS!
Ivan is going to Krown Dec 12th!
I hope he films it.
Think if every body Krowned, Fluid Filmed, Rust Checked etc etc Your Choice of Used Cars would be so much better.
now i know why we have so many NEW YORKERS here in Florida they are trying to escape rust
These are good trucks. My dad bought a 2004 brand new. Has over 233k on the clock.
LOL, I don't do ANY socials ... aside from TH-cam comments. :D
I always love the EVAP vids, since that's the system I have the least amount of knowledge about. I never know what supposed to be closed when, and what is supposed to be open when. I need to just sit and watch EVERY EVAP vid all you guys have on TH-cam one rainy day.
Looked like a small pear, but those would be all rotted by this time of the year... and it would've splattered on the floor when you dropped it. I see some comments saying black walnut - probably what it is. Don't have many of those growing in MA anymore - never seen one before, so I couldn't tell ya. I'm just a mechanic, not a tree-ologist. :D
I was watching a video of you about 2 years ago and you looked like you had no clue about the scope when working with big E (Ivan) and now you look like your ready to teach a class is it really that easy to learn and understand I'm just starting out and just wondering
Good one, any evap info is welcome, wish you showed the whole repair. I need to get a smoke machine.
Make one
Bonus Mrs. O!
don't touch is good advice, I'm so guilty of that.
Walnuts roasting on an open fuel tank fogger nipping at your nose lol good job
Woa wait... Isn't that a Christmas Song. MUSIC: Hum, Hum, Hum hum hum hum hum hum hum. ...... Oh that's Chestnuts... Sorry.....8?,
All well and good but most of us don't have an expensive scan tool or smoke machine.
That was a great video. Thank you. Those smoke machines are EXPENSIVE. How do you like that Bosch Scanner? Can you do a review please.
Curious about that fuel tank. I have a 2004 radio but the front of the tank has a in line fuel filter as to where the one you have is direct line. My vapor vent is leaking around where the silicon or o ring is. Good hunting
wow, scary under car rust on that 2008..yeah it's OK to say no to those other social media sites ..Respect..
thanks man im getting my gmc smocked next week ugh,,,,,,do you have a vid of the fix ,,,,
happy thanksgiving!
I only replaced the fuel filler cap on my 2002 model Holden Commodore because it was an obvious fault,the O ring was split on the cap.
It runs the 5.7 litre Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine but Holden didn't fit a fuel tank pressure sensor so the P0442 code is not applicable to my car.
Instead I got just a P0171 (not even a P0174) code which is a lean code, it's the only other obvious leak since I replaced all of the vacuum hoses & I had the inlet manifold off to do a hydraulic lifter change ,so all of the seals & gaskets have been changed.
I replaced the purge control solenoid valve pipe with a piece of fuel hose because the old plastic one just vibrated & wore out in 2011.
In my car,the only other part other than the MAF Meter clamps which would leak air is the O ring around the fuel pump sender unit.
Yes, I've been looking into making my own smoke machine out of a jar of baby oil & a soldering iron !
Eric, you just need to do the "fix" one of the shops here does, they blow off the dust and spray the pump down with undercoat or other sealer !!!!!!!
Ha I just got done with my dodge today. Previous owner replaced the fuel pump... broke the fitting at the pump and super glued it back on.
Don't mind if i'm 1st, 10th or 20th .... Greetings from The Netherlands, keep up the good work ;)
Thanks 👍
I'm a car inspector in Texas flesh mechanic and I'm so glad I don't live in the Rust Belt
Non popular codes are Evap here in SoCal. Everyday occurrence with you. Great Video! It's 11:40 PM, I'm sleepy, it's bed time! Your smoke machine's fantastic! What happened to the one from Redline? Or am I so tired I don't recognize it? Hi Mrs. O, great ending of this video with you in it!
man this truck underneath it looks like its got over 100,000 miles, because of rust!! good video bud
thank you for bring us along. I have a 3.8, 07 town and country mini van that runs great. until you fill the tank. then it stalls or starts bucking. it goes away after several minutes and everything seems fine, but I am always wondering when it will not, and I have to walk! so is this a gas cap issue? frank.
frank mckinnon - don’t fill it beyond click off. Sounds like possibly stuck open purge valve
thank for the info, my truck have the same problem ,I think i have to fix it my self , you're no in my area so I can take it to you I don't have your experience. thanks for your videos .
I haven't even watched the video and I gave it a thumbs up haha
Look forward to update on this please
Sheesh snow up there already? It’s still 50 degrees down here on Long Island.
i dont know why but it make me feel better about working on my rusty junk when i see you have to work on rust too...how much easier would it be if there was no such thing as rust??? hello to mrs o also.
Well hell an evap leak is an evap leak large or small. Thanks for sharing another outstanding show Hunter O 🍻🍦🍨🍦😃cheers. Ps it would be cool if you were on the twit or instaBam hahahahaha thanks again 🍦
I used to have a girlfriend who did the same thing. She'd shut the back door every time I pressured her. Now I'm married and lucky to get in the front door... sure as heck never get in any other entrance...
Nothing like experiencing smoke from your gas tank :-O ;-)
Hey Eric. Have a question on chevrolet truck fuel line assemblies and if you know a way to do them that does not call for I think almost 8 hours to do??
Hey Eric O have you ever installed a power tailgate lock on a Colorado or Canyon? Or have any suggestions?
Now with a leak like that what are the effects of performance? Rough idle, stalling?
nice thanks ...
Thanks Eric ....just bought one of these. Appears to be in really good shape the truck 2006...amazingly. Can I do this at home? Should you replace the whole gas tank? Any way its cool just another day right...that whole walnut thing was a joke right. I mean the squirrel must have liked his nuts marinated in gas. Can't imagine what he was thinking...think I would have rather been the mouse living in the Pent House on top of the valve cover....
If you include Mrs. O in the thumbnail, you’d get even more views, guaranteed. 👍🏼
great !
this is a great channel, money light HAHA
If you were just 60 miles closer to me you would be my go to mechanic.
Smoke Session 😊
This guy noes his stuff good video bro
