pressure of the fuel tank is 4 kPa (41 gf/cm
2, 0.58
psi).
(5) Check that the internal fuel tank pressure is main-
tained for 1 minute.
(6) Check the connected portions of each hose and
pipe.
(7) Check the installed parts on the fuel tank.

HINT:
In the condition that the fuel is full, there is no ventilation as the
float valve of the fill check valve is closed.
(5) Install the fuel suction w/ pump & gauge tube (see
page 11-20).
(6) Securely cover the fuel pump tube, fuel tube No. 1
port and fuel tank to filler pipe port with vinyl or plas-
tic bags to perform the accurate pressure test.
(7) Apply 4 kPa (41 gf/cm
2, 0.58 psi) of pressure to the
