!!@ 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.
