Evaporative Emission Hoses/Pipes Replacement - Canister/Fuel Tank Canister - Chassis
Front Chassis EVAP Pipe Removal Procedure
Caution: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the
following items:
• Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged
during installation, do not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel
pipes • Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing
new fuel pipes. Damage to the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak. • Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a
torch near them. Also, never expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than
115°C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more than 90°C (194°F)
for any extended period. • Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before
connecting fuel pipe fittings. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent
a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the
female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.)
- Clean the pipe connections and the surrounding areas before disconnecting in order to avoid possible contamination of the evaporative emission (EVAP) system.
- Disconnect the fuel tank vapor pipe (1) from the canister.
- Release the EVAP pipe retaining clips (2).
- Remove the hose clamp securing the pipe to the hose connection (3).
- Remove the EVAP pipe.
