1995 Chevy Blazer 4.3 Vortec 2WD.

​​​​​While driving I had been smelling gas coming from the rear inside the blazer. On the outside, I didnt smell any gas under the hood, but i could smell gas around the driver side rear wheel well. A smog technician told me if I had a leak somewhere in the EVAP System that it would throw a trouble code. I didn't have any check engine light on so I figured maybe I had a leak on the fuel pump, but couldn't see anything wet or dripping anywhere. I had fallowed the EVAP diagram under the hood and I noticed the EVAP canister purge hose was just laying there disconnected. After I connected it, the gas smell went away completely. Why didn't the check engine light go on when it was disconnected? Is the EVAP System monitored in this year blazer?

 

I can't answer your question, but that's good to know. Can you add a couple of pictures of what you did?

I believe your 95 is OBD1, so the EVAP would not be monitored.

 

I for one, sure am glad this forum is here. Seems like there's always some little trick that I wouldn't be able to figure out on my own. Having this wealth of knowledge at my finger tips is priceless!

 

This is the EVAP Canister purge line that i had found disconnected. I just put it back on and the gas fumes went away.
