P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gro

Be sure to try tightening or replacing the fuel cap first, unplug the negative cable for 15 minutes- then drive car for 50-75 miles without shutting engine off, if light stays off chances are it could have fixed the problem, if the cap was not tightened properly it it could have triggered the code/check engine light, also if you replace the cap be aware that some at the auto stores are not to ofc specs so best to buy it from the dealer. I just did this and upon driving the car 60 miles engine light stayed off on my 98 S70, if this doesn't work I would try the J hose prior to changing the charq filter & silanoid, all of which are easy enough to repair yourself.

On a 1998 these parts are under the driver side front fender. You have to loosen the fender plastic liner to get good access to wrench on these. Numerous pictures in other threads.

Ok, I took off the plastic liner, looked around the charcoal canister and voila! the hose going to the AIR nipple is rotted. Clearly I do not want to replace the entire hose so is there a specific type of rubber that I need to splice in? Since this is the vent, I should not have to worry about fuel vapor rotting the hose so can I simply buy something of the same size and "magically" splice it in? In the meantime, can I simply plug the AIR charcoal canister's nipple?

I had good luck using 8mm inner diameter silicone tubing to replace the line between the charcoal canister and the air vent valve.
