Default Re: Gas in the Charcoal Canister

OK Everything has been put together. I need to put gas in the car run it a bit and then check for leaks.

First I tested the charcoal canister. I needed to identified the ground wire which is typically the brown wire. Ground goes to pin two. Hot goes to pin 1.

I used two small wire connectors that are typically used for breadboarding in the electronics world.

I used a 12 volt source and made sure it worked.

So the valve checked out. So I put that back on the canister and into the car.

I put everything back together.

Used fuel line clamps instead the screw clamps when somebody replaced the fuel filter.
