3.Check one-way fuel valve for operation as per the following.
When a stick is inserted, the valve should open, when removing stick it should close.
Do not drop any material into the tank.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- INSPECTION END

Component Inspection (Refueling EVAP vapor cut valve)
1. INSPECTION START
Do you have CONSULT?
Do you have CONSULT?
YES- GO TO 2.
NO- GO TO 3.
2. CHECK REFUELING EVAP VAPOR CUT VALVE
With CONSULT
1.Remove fuel tank. Removal And Installation.
2.Drain fuel from the tank as per the following:
-Remove fuel feed hose located on the fuel gauge retainer.
-Connect a spare fuel hose, one side to fuel gauge retainer where the hose was removed and the other side to a fuel container.
-Drain fuel using "FUEL PUMP RELAY" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode of "ENGINE" using CONSULT.
3.Check refueling EVAP vapor cut valve for being stuck to close as per the following.
Blow air into the refueling EVAP vapor cut valve (from the end of EVAP/ORVR line hose), and check that the air flows freely into the tank.
4.Check refueling EVAP vapor cut valve for being stuck to open as per the following.
-Connect vacuum pump to hose end.
-Remove fuel gauge retainer with fuel gauge unit.
Always replace O-ring with new one.
-Put fuel tank upside down.
-Apply vacuum pressure to hose end [13.3 kPa (-0.136 kg/cm3, 1.93 psi)] with fuel gauge retainer remaining open and check that the pressure is applicable.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES- INSPECTION END
