Vent Valve
1WARNING1WARNING
Verify that the fuel tank vent hose does not contact hot
exhaust or engine parts. The hose contains flammable
vapors that can be ignited if damaged, which could result
in death or serious injury.
1. Install vent valve. See 4.41 FUEL TANK VENT VALVE.
2. See Figure 4-124. Attach fuel tank vent hose (2) to canis-
ter if disconnected.
Canister
NOTE
In next step, be sure canister hose barbs are facing left side
of vehicle and barb holes are facing toward front of vehicle.
1. See Figure 4-126. Slide canister into position on canister
mounting plate (1).
2. Place rear shock reservoir assembly (3) into position.
NOTE
See Figure 4-127. To ensure proper reservoir mounting, tem-
porarily place upper body work onto tail section and adjust
reservoir placement so adjuster screw (1) aligns with align-
ment hole (2).
3. See Figure 4-126. Install reservoir mounting fasteners
(2). Tighten fasteners to 120-144 in-lbs (13.6-16.3 Nm).
1WARNING1WARNING
Always make sure fuel hoses are seated against the com-
ponent they connect to and that hose clamps are prop-
erly tightened and positioned on straight section of
fitting and not on the fitting barb. Failure to comply may
result in fuel leakage which could result in death or seri-
ous injury.
NOTE
The barb is the larger outside diameter portion (bump) on the
fuel fitting.
4. See Figure 4-124. Connect two hoses to the canister.
Make sure to push hoses all the way on to carbon canis-
ter fittings.
5. Install upper tail body work. See 2.36 SUBFRAME TAIL
ASSEMBLY AND BODY WORK.
