So today is my second day owning the car and I pull on the interstate and the check engine light comes on. I drove straight to Auto Zone to have the code pulled. It was a P0455. I did some research and the likely problems are gas, charcoal canister, or some type of vacuum hose in the fuel system.

My questions are:

How easy is it to replace the charcoal canister in the passenger side fender well?

I did hear some type of hissing like a vacuum line was loose when I turned the engine off, but I did not smell a fuel smell in the engine bay.

Should I just take it to the dealer and have all the fuel sensors checked as well? I highly doubt it is a bad gas cap since I heard the hissing sound under the enginer bay. I have no cluse what hose it could be coming from. Are there hoses connected to the charcoal canister that could have been knocked loose? And help, recommendations, or ideas would be appreciated.
