My wifes 2005 Mitsubishi Galant started giving off a P0442 for a small leak in the evap system, but I couldn't locate it. Few weeks or so go by and I notice a gas odor when I'm walking by her car. Yesterday I put it up on my ramps and start looking around, and realize there is gas around the vent hose where it attaches to the tank. The metal tube coming off the tank is rusty, and the clamp has completely corroded off of the hose. Well, while trying to pull the hose off, I bumped another vent hose close by, and knocked it completely off the tank!
Now it looks like I need a new tank due to (2) stupid vent tubes. Better yet, I haven't found anyone online that even carries a tank for this car!
Ugh.
