The Evap canister (charcoal canister ) collects fuel vapour until it is drawn into the intake system when the evap solenoid is operated by the ECU
The evap canister is located under the vehicle close to the fuel tank. The canister is charcoal filled and holds fumes from the tank.
The evap canister is under the Stratus body, near the filler pipe. The canister helps control fuel fumes through the charcoal inside of it.
The EVAP Canister is located under the front passenger door.
EVAP charcoal canister.

The EVAP Charcoal canister.
The EVAP Fuel canister is located above the spare tire carrier behind the fuel tank.
It means you have an Evap purge control leak in the EVAP system. Basically when you have gasoline in a car there are a lot of excess fumes, these fumes are routed through the EVAP system of the car, through a charcoal canister, and returned back to your gas tank as liquid fuel. A leaking charcoal canister, Evap Purge solenoid, PCV lines or PCV elbows can cause this. Also a leaking gas cap can cause this. I would recommend replacing the gas cap first. if that does not do it, check all the connections to the EVAP canister *located in the engine by the firewall*. If there are any leaks, change the elbows or lines. IF the problem still exists you most likely need a new charcoal canister or Canister purge valve solenoid.
on modern cars the fuel system is unvented. The evap purge and vent solenoid goes to a charcoal canister. When the vehicle is off the fuel tank is connected to the charcoal canister through the P/V solenoid and it absorbs the vented gas fumes from the tank. When the vehicle is on and at speed the solenoid switches and the charcoal canister is connected to engine vacuum and the vacuum of the engine purges the gas fumes in the charcoal through the engine burning them
You can find the evap canister near Driver side rear wheel rear of gas tank underneath the car. Thanks
The canister should be under the impala on the same side as the fuel filler pipe. The charcoal filled unit holds fuel vapors.
