Evaporative Canister Filter: Technical Service Bulletins
Fuel System - Evaporative Vent Filter
SOURCE: KIA Technician Times Volume 6 Issue 2, 2003
TITLE: Evaportive Vent Filter
APPLIES TO: 2003 Optima
SERVICE TIP:
To reduce the possibility of plugged evaporative vent filters, the filter has been relocated on 2003MY Optima models. The new filter (P/N 31453
3F000) is mounted to the fuel filler neck in the left rear wheel well where it is better protected from road dirt, mud, water and dust. The evaporative
canister close valve is still mounted in the evaporative canister housing with a hose connecting it to the filter in the wheel well. Refer to Section
31-311 of the current edition (March '03) Parts Catalog for new part information.
