EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
VAPOR VENT LINE

Fuel check valve

1 Check hoses and fuel tank filler cap
2 Disconnect the vapor vent line connecting
carbon canister to fuel tank
3 Connect a 3-way connector, a manometer and
a cock (or an equivalent 3-way charge cock) to
the end of the vent line
4 Supply fresh air into the vapor vent line
through the cock
little by little untll pressure
becomes
3923 kPa (400 mmH,O, 1575

5 Shut the cock completely and leave it un-
attended
6 After 25 minutes, measure the height of the
liquid
in the manometer
7. Variation in height should remain
at 0.245 kPa
(25 mmH,
0.0 98 inHl 0)
8 When filler cap does not close completely, the
height should drop to zero in
a short time
9 If the height does not drop to zero in a short
time when filler cap is removed, the cause IS a
stuffy hose.
In case the vent line is stuffy the breathing in fuel
tank
is not thoroughly made thus causing insuffi-
cient deliver of fuel to engine or vapor lock. It
must, therefore, be repaired or replaced.

FUEL TANK VACUUM RELIEF VALVE
1 Wipe clean valve housing and have it in your
mouth
2. Inhale air A slight resistance accompanied by
valve indicates that valve is in good mechanical
condition Note also that, by further inhaling
air, the resistance should be disappeared with
valve clicks
3. If valve is clogged, or if no resistance is felt,
replace cap
