[QUOTE="POJ Irving, post: 1013715, member: 62362"] Randy H, If you can smell petrol / gas fumes at some point whether while driving or not, but while the engine is running it might be the Evap canister purge valve. The hole may be very small, the size of a pin head. Check the entire connection, take off the Evap canister purge valve and the pipe that leads from the fuel tank in order to find it. Part # 9G271 AA which incidentally is no longer available from Ford as this part is now obsolete according to local dealer. This hose should not be examined unless you have disconnected it from the two sources after you have disconnected the battery of course. Feeling it or looking at it with light will not help in its present location. This was my cause for the code. Anyway, since Ford no longer supplies this part I had to be inventive so this is where Goop sealant and adhesive came into play along with black electrical tape. I believe the photo my still be in my library. It starts with the hose with the green cap. [/QUOTE]
