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.
NOTE
For XB12 models, see 7.6 INTERACTIVE EXHAUST SYS-
TEM (XB12 MODELS).
1. Install vent valve. See 4.40 FUEL TANK VENT VALVE.
2. See Figure 4-120. Attach fuel tank vent hose (2) to canis-
ter if disconnected.

In next step, be sure canister hose barbs are facing rear of
vehicle at approximately the 1 o’clock position.
1. See Figure 4-122. Slide canister into position on canister
mounting plate and push towards front of vehicle.
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.
2. See Figure 4-120. Connect two hoses to the canister.
Make sure to push hoses all the way on to carbon canis-
ter fittings.
