2. Inspections for the Fuel Vent System
NOTE: There is no definite minimum or maxi
mum service life of the fuel vent system. The
best insurance for trouble-free service is the
correct installation of the fuel vent system.
Do periodic inspections to find indications of
fuel vent system failure or leakage.
A. Inspection of the Fuel Vent System
