★ Top Answer
The 2010 Chevy Equinox's EVAP canister, also known as the purge valve, is positioned above the rear of the muffler. When your car's engine runs at a steady speed, the EVAP system allows these vapors to be released into the engine where they are burnt like regular fuel. While it's okay to drive with an EVAP leak, it's not advisable to drive for long with a leak. If your Check Engine Light turns on, first check that your gas cap is securely tightened. If the light remains on, it's wise to bring your vehicle to a mechanic to have the leak repaired. The typical cost for replacing the fuel evaporative canister ranges between $330 and $380. Labor expenses are around $70 to $90, while parts cost between $260 and $290.
