This equipment is employed to prevent the evaporative gases from being discharged into the atmosphere. Fig. 1 shows the Cleaner Air System.

3 3B-2 CLEANER AIR SYSTEM SEC. 1 SUB TANK The construction of the sub tank is as shown in Fig. 3. Its duty is to momentarily reduce the overflowing quantity of gasoline in the fuel tank caused by temperature rise and also to sub tank for the purpose of preventing solid gasoline from entering the vapor line in extreme cornering. 2. Removal and Installation (1) Remove hose attaching clip and pull hose off tube. (2) Remove clip from left front part of shelf trim. (3) Remove attaching bolts. (4) Remove attaching bolts from inside trunk. (5) Take out sub tank body. NOTE: In the station wagon, first remove the left rear side trim. 2-2 Installation When installing the sub tank, observe the following items. (1) Insert hose onto tube and securely clamp it. (2) Either tank or hose that has any damage should be replaced.

To prevent this, the vapor is led into the canister that traps gasoline with charcoal while the engine is stationary. During engine operation, however, the fresh air is drawn into the canister to carry gasoline off from the charcoal into the suction system, through which the gasoline is brought into the combustion chamber. This operation is repeated while the car is in operation, so that the charcoal

The construction of this device is as illustrated. A paper filter type air cleaner for trapping dirt present in purge air and a paper filter for removal of charcoal are installed before and behind the charcoal.

Remove canister attaching bolts. 2 2 Installation - When installing the canister, observe the following items. (1) Replace filter paper and air cleaner element every year or every 12,000 miles of driving. (2) Replace charcoal every 50,000 miles of driving. (3) When replacing charcoal, remove carbon dust if possible. (4) Recharging of charcoal should be done in such a place free of organic gases and water drips. (5) Amount of charcoal required is 8.8 ± 0.1 oz. SEC. 3 PURGE VALVE The purge valve admits fresh air into the canister to blow vapor gas off the activated charcoal and carry the gas away into the engine. During engine operation, the valve is kept open, but when the engine is stationary, it is closed to shut off the purge air. Its construction is as shown in Fig. 8. The venturi boost acts on the back side of the diaphragm, and the more the engine speed increases, the more the boost grows, thus opening the valve wider to supply an increased amount of purge air to the canister.

Inspection and service procedure are as follows: (1) With no venturi boost applied to the purge control valve, exert a vacuum of inhg to the intake side of the intake manifold. At this time, if the flow rate of the purge air is less then cu.ft./min., the valve is in a satisfactory condition. (2) If the flow rate of the purge air exceeds cult/min. and the engine fails to idle efficiently, the purge control valve must be replaced.
