FUEL TANK INSPECTION [LF, L5]


id0114a7803200

Note
•  The rollover valve and the check valve (two-way) built into the fuel tank and fuel tank leakage are inspected in this inspection.

1.  Complete the “BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [LF, L5].)

2.  Remove the fuel tank and the fuel pump unit as a single unit. (See FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L5].)

3.  Perform the following procedure to verify the fuel tank airtightness.

(1)  Plug the fuel pump unit pipe, ports B and C.

LF (Fuel filter (high-pressure) is a built-in fuel pump unit)

(2)  Apply a pressure of 3 kPa {23 mmHg, 0.9 inHg} to port A and wait for a while.
(3)  Verify that there is no air flow leakage from the fuel tank.
•  If there is air flow, replace the fuel tank. (See FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L5].)

4.  Plug the fuel pump unit pipe and port B.

5.  Level the fuel tank.

6.  Apply a pressure of 3 kPa {23 mmHg, 0.9 inHg} to port A and wait for a while.

7.  With the pressure still applied, verify that there is air flow port C and the pressure is 0—3 kPa {0—23 mmHg, 0—0.9 inHg}.

•  If there is no air flow, replace the fuel tank. (See FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L5].)

8.  Apply a pressure of -0.5 kPa {-3.8 mmHg, -0.1 inHg} to port A and wait for a while.

9.  With the pressure still applied, verify that there is air flow port C and the pressure is -0.5—0 kPa {-3.8—0 mmHg, -0.1—0 inHg}.

•  If there is no air flow, replace the fuel tank. (See FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L5].)
•  If there is air flow, place the fuel tank upside down.

10.  Apply a pressure to port A and wait for a while.

11.  With the pressure still applied, verify that there is no air flow from port C.

•  If there is air flow, replace the fuel tank. (See FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF, L5].)
