Default P0441/446 Code

Hey guys,
Just have a quick question. I am pretty sure it is my canister purge valve throwing these codes, but just to make sure.....
Are there any symptoms that would make one think that it is one thing causing it more than another?
Every time I fill up my tank (I do not top off) I smell gas moreso than when I fill up my other cars. I smell it for a bit once I get into my car too. This could very well be totally normal and just in my head, but just food for thought. Thanks guys...

Pop your hood and look for any disconnected vacuum hoses. It's usually the one on the right side of the engine with a green cap on it. The hoses disconnect because your engine mounts are worn.

No problem! Glad it fixed the problem. This is a common problem for our cars when the engine mounts are worn, allowing the engine to move around too much and jerking the hoses.
