Question Fuel shut off valve location

Need help finding the fuel shut off valve location so that I can replace it. The dealership said that it was a problem and needed replaced so instead of paying almost $700 I am going to change it as well as a lot of other items. I just need help finding it. Has anyone replaced one of these before? I was told that when they were fogging my system it was leaking.

3- locate the evap canister above the muffler
4- disconnect the wire
5- twist out the fuel shut off valve located on top
6- change o-ring
7- reinstall fuel shut off valve
8- plug in wire or replace with updated connector
