Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
I am leaking fuel out of the canister. I have replaced this component as well as the little one way valve. I had the fuel pump replaced about 3 months ago. I can release the pressure by loosending the gas cap and that relieves some pressure, but I can't drive around with it like that. Any reason why I am building up enough presure to push fuel up through the canister? I had just gotten gas but only filled it up half way. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is it possible the shop put the hoses wrong on the fuel pump?

It is possible for the engine to run if the return and feed lines are reversed. It probably won't run well, but it will run.
Diagnosis should be relatively simple. Disconnect the "normal" return line from the cannister. Put the open line into a suitable container. Turn the switch to the ON position. No need to start. This will activate the fuel pump and should pressurize the fuel system if the lines are connected correctly. If fuel starts to fill your container, you have identified the problem.

The motor is running good. I will try and test it this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well all the hoses seem to be in place correctly. I have taken to the stealorship. So far they have said that they need to replace a vent solenoid (they said its missing and I have never seen it) and charcoal canister of which I replaced already (was sold the wrong one by a different stealorship) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />. I have never heard of a vent solenoid. This is in line back to the fuel tank. Anybody ever heard of this piece and know where it is located on the vehicle?

Anybody have any ideas about where the "vent solenoid" and what it does exactly? The dealorships is npt giving me a good enough answer.
Stealorship replaced charcoal canister with the exact same one I replaced 2 months ago and their price to me was 50 bucks more than I original paid for the part. They said it was filled with fuel...duh. The fixed a result not the problem. Apparently they do not make the original canister anymore and the only replacement is the six cylinder canister. Taking it back tomorrow.
