Testing
@G Do not smoke during the test. Keep opon
flames away lrom your work ar€a.
1. Attach a fuel pressure gauge to the service port of
the tuel filter (see page 11-118).
Pr€ssurs should be:
8188l €ngine:
27O - 320 kPa 12.8 - 3.3 kgl/cmr. 40 - 47 psil
818C1, 818C5 engines:
320 - 370 kPa (3.3 - 3.8 kgrf/cm,, 47 - 54 psi)

Reconnect the vacuum hose to the fuel pressure
regulator.
Check that the fuel pressure rises when the vacuum
hose from the fuel pressure regulator is disconnect-
ed again.
lf the fuel pressure did not rise, replace the fuelpressure regulator.

1. Place a shop towel under the fuel pressure regula-
tor, then relieve fuel pressure (see page 11-1'18).
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose and fuel return hose.
3. Remove the.two 6 mm retainer bolts.
NOTE:
. Replace the O-ring.
o When assembling the fuel pressure regulator,
apply clean engine oil to the O-ring and assem-
ble it into its proper position, taking care not to
damage the O-ring.

Replacement
Do not smoke while working on fuel system. Koop
open flame away from your work atea.
While replacing the fuel filter, be qaretul to keep a
sate distanco between battery terminals and any
tools.
The fuel filter should be replaced whenever the fuel
pressure drops below the specified value I27o - 32O kPa,
2.8 - 3.3 kgf/cm', 40 - 47 psi (B18C'1, B l8C5 enginesi 320- 370 kPa (3.3 - 3.8 kgtcm' ,47 - 54 psi) with the fuel
pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected and
pinchedl aiter making sure that the tuel pump and the
fuel pressure regulator are OK.
Place a shop towel under and around the fuelfilter.
Relieve fuel pressure {see page 11-1'18}.
Support the fuel filter with a wrench, as shown,
then remove the 12 mm banjo bolt and the tuel feed
pipe lrom the fuelfilter.
Remove the fuel filter clamp and fuel filter.
lnstall the new fuel filter in the reverse order of
removal, and note these items:
. When assembling, use new washers as shown.
. Clean the tlared joint of high pressure hoses
thoroughly before reconnecting them.

!!@ Do not smoke while working on fuel system. Keep open flame away from your work a.ea.
1. Relieve the fuel pressure(seepagell-118).
2. Jack up the vehicle, and support it with jackstands.
3. Remove the drain bolt, and drain the fuel into an approved container.
4. Remove the rear seat (Hatchbackt Remove the spare tire lid and the protective cover), and access panels, and discon-
nect the 2P and 3P connectors.
5. Remove the EVAP two way valve cover and fuel hose protector, and disconnect the connectors.
6. Disconnect the hoses (see page 11-105). Slide back the clamps, then twist hoses as you pull, to avoid damaging them.
7. Place a tack, or other support, under the tank.
8. Remove the strap nuts, and let the straps fall free.
9. Remove the fuel tank.
lf it sticks on the undercoat applied to its mount, carefully pry it offthe mount.
10. lnstallthe drain bolt with a new washer, then coat the drain bolt with Noxrust 1248. Allow the Noxrust to dry tor 20
minutes.
11. Installthe remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Controls
,J
a
DescriDtion
The evaporative emission controls are designed to minimize the amount of luel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. Thesystem consists of the following components:
A. EvaporativeEmission lEVAPlControlCanister
An EVAP control canister is used for the temporary storage of fuel vapor until the fuel vapor can be purged from theEVAP control canister into the engine and burned.
B. Vapol Purge Control System
EVAP control canister purging is accomplished by drawing fresh air through the EVAP control canister and into a pon
on the intake manifold. The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP purge control solenoid valve.
C. Fuel Tank Vapor Control System
When fuel vapor pressure in the fuel tank is higher than the set value of the EVAP two way valve, the varve opens anoregulates the flow of fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
