3-108 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)

Evaporative Emission Control System (California Model)

The Evaporative Emission Control System routes fuel va-

pors from the fuel system into the running engine or stores

the vapors in a canister when the engine is stopped. Al-

though no adjustments are required, a thorough visual in-

spection must be made at the intervals specified by the Pe-

riodic Maintenance Chart.

Parts Removal/Installatio n

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be ex-

plosive under certain conditions. Turn the ignition

switch OFF. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is

well-ventilated and free from any source of flame

or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot

light.

CAUTION

If gasoline, solvent, water or any other liquid enters

the canister, the canister’s vapor absorbing capac-

ity is greatly reduced. If the canister does become

contaminated, replace it with a new one.

•

To prevent the gasoline from flowing into or out of the

canister, hold the separator perpendicular to the ground.

•

Connect the hoses according to the diagram of the sys-

tem (see Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the

Appendix chapter). Make sure they do not get pinched or

kinked.
