Evaporative Emission Control System

[Pinip]

...looking for rust with a flash light, actually going for a smoke i found , a rubber hose running along the back frame next to the fuel thank... with a clip on it...finished the cigarette , crawled under...found another rubber hose...checked in the Haynes... not accurate enough...looked in the downloaded Pathfinder Service Manuel (1994) , thanks to NPORA... got the design and more explaination.

 

So i replug the hoses...I just want to make sure i did not plug them the wrong way since it seems to act like a non return valve for vapors...It does stand up next to the fuel thank...so i figured that the upper part goes to the thank and the lower part goes to the canister ? Right or wrong ? any opinion ?

 

I figure i am not bad for a screw driver mechanic... should get a promotion non ? ...after spending 2 months in a garage and spending $1000 + at $69.00 a hour, on a Nissan fuel pump (the garage tried 3 jobber pumps before succeding)...but they forgot to replug that part ...!!

 

here is a diagram of it ,if any help... p.s. You need Acrobat reader !!

Funny....I had a guy in first thing this morning with a check valve on his Maxima that he broke.

 

 

 

PART NUMBER 17370-89900

VALVE ASSY-FUEL

 

 

The top hose goes to the top of the fuel tank.

 

Hope that helps.

Thank you for confirming Alkorahil... that is what i figured , after searching, although i was not sure 100%... i had fuel smells around the rear bumper before, wondering if it was the o-ring on the fuel pump, but now knowing that these hoses were unhooked and the fumes not goiing to the canister...this was the cause...of the occasional smell...
