failed FUEL EVAP TEST on CA smog test - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Why don't you just cap that crap off temporarily. Put a cap on the fuel check valve, and have them do the test again. You shouldn't get a cel for maybe a day or 2.

well thats what ive been posting on here as an alternative, but im (and everyone else) not sure if the machine actually checks the the flow of the vapor lines also.

eerrrrr,

I am in the same boat. As someone mentioned before, i think it may be the seal for the fuel pump access plate.

Please update if you have figured it out. Thank you.

Hopefully after four years he resolved the problem.

People seem to forget to update their threads when they have resolved their problem. I wouldnt have bumped a four year old thread if the OP had done so. I am not hating on the OP either as i am at fault as well.

Regarding my problem, i am completely missing the o ring that seals the fuel pump holder to the tank. Most likely that is my leak.
