Also found that the fuel pump gasket was bad, access through rear panel under rear seat.

How/where to find the overflow hose?
Where is the overflow hose / where can I get access to it to purge? After a bit of research, the discussions I am finding of "overflow hose" refer to the engine coolant system, not the fuel supply.

I used compressed air and a blower fitting and blew air thru mine. Unfortunately that was not the issue with my P0441 CEL |

When you open the fuel cap you will see 2 small holes. When gas is over filled, fuel gets into those holes. the theory is with enough over fills and dirt will clog the over flow hoses and develop a fault in the evap system ergo improper flow.

Thanks! Will give it a shot and report back.
This is a pretty accurate description of what it should sound like when overflow lines are cleared:

Reset/cleared the P0441 and P0446 CEL / DTCs and they haven't come back yet. I suspect (hope) this was the source of the CEL / DTCs because I very recently topped off my gas tank, then got the P0441 + P0446. Thanks all! |
P0441 code

Good idea Myth! I'll give it a try.
Hey you mentioned blowing out a line if you happened to overfill the tank. I’ve tried to check on all the issues but don’t have any luck. Can you maybe give me a point in the direction of where this hose is that I need to blow out? Thanks!! |
I think I need to replace this
