This vapour line connection looked ugly and leaked air, so I went to local pick a part and cut the line way down by the steel line , lotsa tubing to have to measure better

This is the new to me tube and fitting from a sadly wrecked HHR.

The connection union is fully engaged and seated and not under any stress from the tube bending an inch or two from the EVAP valve. The P0455 code is no longer popping up since I did this , last Friday.

This the first time on the site just can not get the line to disconnect from the fuel line back by the rear wheels, I have tried everything to disconnect pressure line connection to the pipe that goes over the fuel tank to the fuel pump. Tried those sleeves to separate the lines no luck any help would help

The pressure line, squeeze the sides of the D shaped fitting and wiggle it off the metal line, squirt some WD40 or PB blaster on it to lubricate the oring

Just got home from our annual trip to Cape Cod, but what part of PA are you? You need just slip lock pliers to squeeze it.
