Default More Evap Troubleshooting...

Well i cleared the code about two weeks about..and the CEL came back.. but this time.. no 0441..... only showed the 0446... So ive started to do a bit of troubleshooting to see where i should start.... ive ordered the gascap... but im wondering if these situations make any difference..

I went and filled my rx up completely with gas... 55.7 L into the tank and then had my 0446 reset..... It didnt come on for 200kms... and came back EXACTLY at half a tank left of gas... the gas cap was easier to get off it seemed then when the tank is less full ( less pressure?) Im planning on resetting the code one more time..and filling up the rx.... then im going to try to keep her always on the top half of the tank..and see if it throws the code.. or if i can prevent it this way.....

Does this lead me more towards the valve switch near the canister and less away from a random cracked hose...( airbox one seems fine)..


Also my gas milage which i just calculated off that 55.7L tank was about 250mi to the tank... 17miles per gallon... or 13.8L per 100km .... which seems a bit lower then some others... ive read lexmex sticky thread... but does this evap cause the bad gas milage as well???

Cheers
