EVAPO models
EVAPO (emission controlled) models were fitted to all USA 1200s and newer Sunny Truck.
NOTE: early models (1970) may have been fitted with a non-relief cap. It is recommended to fit a relief cap.
The fuel filler cap should be sealed type. It does not let air out. But it does have a vacuum release valve to let air in. Perhaps it has the wrong cap. It should be more or less flat on the outside, with a nubbin on the inside.
Venting takes place with a vent line from the tank to the engine compartment, where it lets fumes into the crankcase to be 'stored' until the engine is started. Then the fumes are burned in the carburetor. See Emission Controls for details.
Newer models, starting with the 1973 B210, vent into a charcoal cannister. But they use the same cap.
- flow guide valve goes in engine compartment
- Fuel tank filler cap
- The nubbin on the bottom is vacuum relief valve
Testing
For the EVAPO model:
You should not be able to blow air out throw the cap You should be able to suck air in through the nubbin.
- Wipe valve housing clean and place it in your mouth.
- Inhale air. A slight resistance indicates that the valve is in good mechanical condition. Note that, by further inhaling air, the resistance should disappear as the valve clicks.
- If valve is clogged, or if no resistance is felt, replace cap as an assembled unit.
