The

whether equipped with a Hurricane F4 or Daunt­

less
V-6 Engine,
consists
of the fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, carburetor and
air
cleaner.

also
include a
non-vent

pressure and vacuum
sensitive
gas cap, a liquid
expansion and vapor separator tank, a carbon filled vapor

canister, and a vapor purge line. Service information pertaining to the
Fuel
Evap­

orative Emission Control System is outlined in

Par.
E-2 through

Refer to Figs. E-3 and E-4.
The
most
important
attention
necessary to the fuel
system is to
keep
it clean and free from water. It should be periodically inspected for leaks.

CAUTION—Whenever
a vehicle is to be stored for

an
extended
period, the fuel system should be com­

pletely
drained, the
engine
started and allowed to
run
until the carburetor is emptied.
This
will
avoid
oxidization of the fuel, resulting in the formation of

normally
vents
to the atmosphere from the vehicle
fuel system.

The
fuel vapor system consists of internal fuel tank
venting, a vacuum /pressure fuel tank cap, a vapor
separator or expansion tank, vapor canister, and closed external carburetor venting. The same basic
system is used on all 'Jeep' vehicles, as shown in
Fig. E-3.

This
system involves means of trapping the fuel
vapors through the use of a charcoal canister which
absorbs the vapor and stores it until it can be re­ moved to be burned in the
engine.
This
removal is
performed by drawing
these
vapors through the purge line
into
the crankcase ventilation system

which
in
turn
enters the intake manifold. In ad­ dition to the canister, the fuel tank requires a sealed
gas cap and extra
vents
to a liquid separator or
expansion tank.
This
prevents liquid
gasoline
from entering the vapor system.
Thus,
as vapors are generated in the fuel tank,
they
flow through the

liquid
separator or expansion tank to the canister

and
are routed to the intake manifold through the 110

crankcase
vent system. The charcoal canister in­
corporates an integral demand valve
which
regu­

lates
vapors entering the canister as
well
as a
limit
fill
valve
to control air trapping during tank
fill.
The
Fuel
Evaporative Emission Control System
incorporates the following new or modified parts:

E-3.
Canister
The canister used for the vapor control system has
provisions for containing activated charcoal gran­ ules. The material used for the canister body is a

special,
fuel resistant, heat stabilized nylon. At the top of the canister there is the demand valve which
has connections; one vents the vapor to the canister
while the other connection joins the canister to the purge system. These
tubes
enter the canister on

opposite
sides of a baffle which permits uniform
vapor distribution throughout the canister. The
bottom
of the canister is fitted with a filter element
that allows fuel tank venting to atmosphere after vapors are trapped in the activated charcoal.

E-4.
Demand Valve

The
demand valve is integral with the canister. It
is essenitally a combination pressure regulator and

vacuum
relief valve.
This
valve regulates the rate
of vapor
flowing
from the fuel tank into the canister.
The
valve consists of a housing, a spring loaded
diaphragm,
a diaphragm cover, and a vacuum

relief
valve. The operation of the unit is such that
as tank vent pressure increases the diaphragm lifts,
permitting vapor to enter the canister. The pres­
sure
under which this occurs is 4" to 6"
H2O.
This

action regulates the flow of vapors into the canister
under severe soak and operation conditions (temp, changes), but generally prohibits the flow of vapor 111

during
normal temperature vehicle operation, thus
minimizing
driveability problems. An additional
feature of this valve is a built-in vacuum relief

which
allows inward air flow under negative fuel

tank
pressure conditions. The valve housing con­
tains the normal tank vent and purge connections.

E-5.
Fuel Tank

The
fuel tank is external expansion type.
Fuel

tank
venting is accomplished by several vapor
lines which lead to the vapor separator or expan­
sion tank. The vapor lines which lead from the
fuel tank are located at the front and
rear
so that
during
any inclination of the vehicle, at least one
line
will
be open to vent at all times.
E-6.
Vapor Separator
or
Expansion Tank

The
vapor separator is chambered so that the
rear
fuel tank vent lines lead into a separate chamber

with
a fuel shutofl valve.
This
prevents solid fuel
from
flowing from the fuel tank to the vapor can­
ister during uphill operation or parking of the
vehicle. A single vapor vent line leads from the fuel
vapor separator to the vapor collection canister
where fuel vapors are stored until they can be drawn into the
engine
and burned.

The
expansion tank allows expansion of the fuel as

required
during temperature changes and simul­ taneously
becomes
a liquid trap that only allows
vapors to pass.
E-7.
Sealed
Gas Cap

The
sealed gas cap is designed to allow no vapors to
discharge into the atmosphere under normal
operation of the system. If the system
becomes
plugged or a failure of the demand valve occurs 112

'Jeep*
UNIVERSAL
SERIES
SERVICE
MANUAL

E
there is a relief valve that
opens
to reduce high
(dangerous) pressures in the fuel tank. In con­

junction
with the pressure relief valve there is a
vacuum
relief valve to
stop
collapse of the fuel

tank
in case of a plugged system or failure of the demand valve. When replacing the gas cap, the
same type must be used as originally installed.

E-8.
System Inspection Test

The
fuel emission vent system should be checked

carefully
to ensure the absence of any leaks to the
atmosphere of either liquid or vapor which might
affect the accuracy, safety, or performance of the control system.

To
assure that the sealed system has been properly

installed,
the following
test
procedure has been
developed.
Disconnect the vent line from the fuel tank system
to the activated charcoal canister, induce l/i p.s.i.
air
pressure. If this pressure can be maintained for

a
few seconds the vent system is assured to be sealed. DO NOT add air pressure to the canister
because damage can occur to the demand valve if
care
is not taken.

E-9.
Servicing the System

Periodic
Maintenance — Replace carbon canister filter at
12,000
miles
[19,200
km.] or 12 month in­tervals (more
often
for operation in dusty areas).

This
is the only regular maintenance service

required.

CARBURETOR
—
HURRICANE
F4
ENGINE

A
single-barrel manual choke, down-draft carbure­
tor (Fig. E-6) is used on the
Hurricane
F4 engine.
The
carburetor is internally vented by a tube
opening located in the air horn body of the
car­

buretor.
This
opening is connected by a rubber
tube to the air
outlet
horn of the air cleaner thus
allowing only filtered atmospheric pressure air
to enter the float chamber for balance pressure
of the carburetor fuel.

Note:
A carburetor with a specific flow character­

istic
is used for exhaust emission control. The
carburetor
is identified by a number, and the correct

carburetor
must be used, when replacement is
necessary.

Early
production models
CJ-3B,
CJ-5,
CJ-5A,
CJ-6,
and
CJ-6A
have a
Carter
YF-938SD
carbure­
tor superseding the earlier
YF-938SC,
YF-938SA,

or
YF-938S
models.

Note."
Conversion kits for changing earlier models
to SD models are available. See Par E-23. It is recommended that when a carburetor is converted
that a tag be fashioned stamped with the new model number and installed under one of the air

horn
screws.
Look
for such a tag to determine if
the carburetor has previously been converted.

Carburetors
listed above are all in the same YF
series and have only minor differences. Descriptions
and
repair procedures given in the following
para­
graphs apply equally to all
YF-series
carburetors.
YF-series
carburetors employ manual and vacuum
control of the metering rod and accelerator pump.
The
carburetor controls and vaporizes the fuel
through five separate systems: float system, low-
speed system, high-speed system, choke system,

and
accelerating-pump system. A description of the function and operation of each system provides an over all description of the carburetor.

For
identification, the series designation is stamped
on the body under the name
Carter
and the model
designation is stamped on a flange protruding
from
the body.

Note:
When checking for carburetor icing causes,
also check the vacuum-pump-to-manifold vacuum
line connector. 113
