Evaporative Emissions Hose: Service and Repair

Fuel Vapor Tube Assembly






















Removal and Installation

WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Always disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery when working on an evaporative emission (EVAP) system or fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: The fuel vapor tube assembly is a 2 part assembly. One tube connects to the fuel tank and includes the fuel tank pressure sensor. Another tube connects to the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister. The 2 tubes are connected by a quick connect coupling.

Both fuel vapor tube assemblies

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.

2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.

3. Remove the 4 bolts, the 4 trim pins, the 2 push pins, and the aero shield.
- To install, tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
