Two-Way Valve: Testing and Inspection

Fig. 4 Installing T-Fitting, Vacuum/Pressure Gauge & Vacuum Pump Into Vapor Hose

Fig. 5 Connecting T-Fitting To Pressure Side Of Vacuum/Pressure Gauge

1.

Remove fuel filler cap.

2.

Disconnect vapor hose from fuel tank to two-way valve, install suitable T-fitting into hose, then connect vacuum/pressure gauge and pump into
hose as shown in Fig. 4.

3.

Slowly apply vacuum while observing gauge. Vacuum should stabilize between .2-.6 inches Hg. If vacuum is above or below specified values,
replace two-way valve and repeat test.

4.

Connect T-fitting to pressure side of vacuum/pressure gauge, Fig. 5, then slowly pressurize vacuum hose and observe gauge. Pressure should
stabilize between 1-2.2 inches Hg. If pressure stabilizes above or below specified values, replace two-way valve and repeat test.
