1991 LEXUS SC300 fuel filter

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.

4. CLEAN FILTER IN CANISTERClean the filter by blowing 294 kPa (3 kgf/cm2, 43 psi) of com-
pressed air into port A while holding port B closed.
NOTICE:
w Do not attempt to wash the canister.
w No activated carbon should come out.
5. REINSTALL CHARCOAL CANISTER
HINT: Install the check valve with black port facing the char-
coal canister side.
(a) Install the check valve to the hose end on the charcoalcanister.
(b) Install the charcoal canister.
(c) Install the grommet on the check valve to the bracket.
(d) Connect the following hoses: (1) Vacuum hose (from VSV) to charcoal canister
(2) EVAP hose to charcoal canister

PRECAUTIONS
1. Always use new gaskets when replacing the fuel tank orcomponent part.
2. Apply the proper torque to all parts tightened.
INSPECTION OF FUEL LINES AND
CONNECTIONS
(a) Inspect the fuel lines and connections for cracks,
leakage or deformation.
(b) Inspect the fuel tank vapor vent system hoses and connections for looseness, kinks or damage.
(c) Inspect the fuel tank for deformation, cra cks, fuel
leakage or tank band looseness.
(d) Check the filter neck for damage or fuel leakage.
(e) Ho se an d tu b e c onnections are as shown in the
illustration.
If a problem is found, repair or replace the parts as necessary.
