Fuel Tank Leak Test
Description
The fuel tank leak test is used to locate any fuel or fuel vapor escaping the fuel tank area. Fuel vapors escaping above the fuel level will be detected when the evaporative emissions (EVAP) leak diagnostic completes one test cycle.
Diagnostic Aids
* Operate the vehicle under the condition of the customers concern. Under high temperature conditions fuel vapors may increase to the point of EVAP canister vapor saturation. Fuel vapors would then be released into the atmosphere. Once the engine is running and EVAP purge is enabled, all fuel vapor release would be eliminated.
* Movement of the EVAP pipes or fuel pipes may help find an intermittent condition.
