0442 is a small leak in the evaporative system while 0455 is a large leak in the evaporative system. These can be tough for us amateurs to track down. The classic first fix is to get a new gas cap but when that doesn't work, some detective work is in order. Under the driver's seat are several cannisters and devices with an assortment of hoses connecting everything. Try inspecting them for cracks or looseness. If you don't find anything obvious, a qualified mechanic can inject smoke into the system to detect where the problem is occuring.

In my case it was the plumbing and canister from the gas cap to the gas tank that rusted and began leaking. check behind the wheel well plastic cover and you will probably find the problem

Hi,

Do i have to remove the wheel to see this or i can see without removing tire this from under the Van.

thanks

It is a lot easier if you remove the Wheel then remove the Wheel Well Skin.
