Evaporative Emissions System: Maintenance

Check for fuel leaks and proper functioning of the system every 12 months or 12, 500 miles. If clogged hoses are found, clean with solvent and blow dry with compressed air. Replace any damaged or worn hoses. Replace the evaporation tube to air cleaner every 24 months or 25, 000 miles.
