Hi, thanks for writing in. I’d be happy to help.
The P0456 code is for a small leak and the only way to find such a small leak is to have the system pressurized using the test port under the hood. The system is pumped full of a smoke that has a special dye in it that will show up with an ultraviolet light. Once the leak is detected then you can repair it as needed. The fuel fill valve and the purge valve under the hood is the two main areas that leak the most. This test will isolate the leaks for you and should be done before replacing any parts.
