Fuel Tank: Testing and Inspection
FUEL TANK INSPECTION [LF, L5]
NOTE:
- The rollover valve and the fuel shut-off valve or check valve (two-way) built into the fuel tank and fuel tank leakage are inspected in this inspection.
1. Complete the "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION". Before Service Precaution
2. Remove the battery cover. Removal and Replacement
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Removal and Replacement
4. Remove the fuel tank and the fuel pump unit as a single unit. Service and Repair
5. Perform the following procedure to verify the fuel tank airtightness.
a. Plug the fuel pump unit pipe, ports B and C.
Fuel filter (high-pressure) is a built-in type in fuel pump unit
Fuel filter (high-pressure) is not a built-in type in fuel pump unit
b. Apply a pressure of 3 kPa {23 mmHg, 0.9 inHg} to port A and wait for a while.
c. Verify that there is no air flow leakage from the fuel tank.
- If there is air flow, replace the fuel tank. Service and Repair
6. Plug the fuel pump unit pipe and port B.
Fuel filter (high-pressure) is a built-in type in fuel pump unit
Fuel filter (high-pressure) is not a built-in type in fuel pump unit
7. Level the fuel tank.
8. Apply a pressure of 3 kPa {23 mmHg, 0.9 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 0-3 kPa {0-23 mmHg, 0-0.9 inHg}.
- If there is no air flow, replace the fuel tank. Service and Repair
10. Apply a pressure of -0.5 kPa {-3.8 mmHg, -0.1 inHg} to port A and wait for a while.
11. 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. Service and Repair
- If there is air flow, place the fuel tank upside down.
12. Apply a pressure to port A and wait for a while.
Fuel filter (high-pressure) is a built-in type in fuel pump unit
Fuel filter (high-pressure) is not a built-in type in fuel pump unit
13. With the pressure still applied, verify that there is no air flow from port C.
- If there is air flow, replace the fuel tank. Service and Repair
