Default Purge Valve

My SES light has been on and my gas tank spits out gas when I try to fill it. I went to the junkyard and bought two purge valves and a canister. I tested the two new valves as well as my old one by connecting them straight to the battery. All three of them open when energized. I also tested the electrical connector at the purge valve when the ignition is turned on and it lights the test light. The problems is that none of the valves open when connected and the ignition is turned on. Any ideas why not?

what is the code you have. Possible vacuum cut bypass valve not working to release the pressure in the tank.

I haven't had the codes tested yet. Where is the vacuum cut bypass valve?

The code is P0446. I am going to replace the canister and purge valve along with the vacuum hoses. Any ideas where to find 0.625" vacuum hose for the purge valve?
