1991 LEXUS SC300 fuel cap

GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Work Precautions
SAFETY
1. Before performing repair work, checkfor fuel leaks. If a leak is found, be sure
to close the opening totally.
2. If it is necessary to use a frame in the area of the fuel tank, first remove the
tank and plug the fuel line.
VEHICLE PROTECTION
When welding, protect the
painted surfaces, windows,
seats and carpet with heat
resistant, fire-proof covers.
SAFETY
Never stand in direct
line with the chain when
using a puller on the
body or frame, and be
sure to attach a safety
cable.

FUEL EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL (EVAP) SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
To reduce HC emission, evaporated fuel from the fuel tank is routed throug\
h the charcoal canister to the
intake manifold for combustion in the cylinders.

1. VISUALLY INSPECT LINES AND CONNECTIONS
Look for loose connections, sharp bends or damage.
2. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK Look for deformation, cracks or fuel leakage.

3. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK CAPCheck if the cap and/or gasket are deformed or damaged.
If necessary, repair or replace the cap.
INSPECTION OF CHARCOAL CANISTER
1. REMOVE CHARCOAL CANISTER(a) Disconnect the following hoses:(1) Vacuum hose (from VSV) from charcoal canister
(2) EVAP hose from charcoal canister
(b) Disconnect the grommet on the check valve from the bracket, and remove the charcoal canister.
(c) Remove the check valve from the hose end on the charcoal canister.
2. VISUALLY INSPECT CHARCOAL CANISTER Look for cracks or damage.
3. CHECK FOR CLOGGED FILTER AND STUCK CHECK VA LV E
(a) Using low pressure compressed air, blow into port A and
check that air flows without resistance from the other
ports.
(b) Blow into port B and check that air does not flow from the
other ports.
If a problem is found, replace the charcoal canister.
