I had been having intermittent fuel smells inside the car... in the garage and bad enough to smell it even in the house. I had searched the boards and saw all kinds of stuff about the fuel evap system. Well I had the car in today for a transmission fluid and filter change getting ready for a big road trip later this month. I asked him about it. The mechanic said it smelled worse by the filler neck and rear tire. He reached up and pulled the gas cap off. I said... oh I must have forgot to lock it... knowing that I never forget to do that... so I put it back on... clicked it several times and re-locked it. He reached up again and pulled it right off. It was an after market locking cap. I went to the dealer and bought an OEM locking cap for under 25 bucks. Hope that fixes the problem

that's the problem with aftermarket fuel caps they just aren't made to the factory specifications...

I have read the OEM locking caps dont work well either, by that I mean you can just grab it and unscrew without the key if you try hard enough

I am having the exact same issue! I get code p0441 and the smell is from the rear tire. I think it's the canister
