3-136 FUEL SYSTEM (DFI)
Evaporative Emission Control System (Other than US, CA, ID and SEA-B2 Mod-
els)
   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/Installation
                        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.

                        NOTICE
 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.

• 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.
