Solving an EVAP Leak?

[trox88]

I have had my CEL on for longest. I know it's an EVAP leak. Someone said that I need a "smoke test" to see from where the leak is coming. Someone else recommended spraying carburetor cleaner on my EVAP hoses. They said doing this would cause an acceleration when the cleaner hit the leak.
Does anyone have any other recommendations? Has anyone ever done either our these?
Thanks.

Stop over filling your gas tank. Every time you over fill the tank gas leaks into your evap canister. I'd say that this is about 90% of all evap problems. When the gas nozzle clicks off the first time don't add anymore fuel.

Really? I had no idea.
Knowledge of how to check and fix it ?

Times two on suggestion by MAXIMUS1, when it shuts off, that's enough. Good luck.
