Asked by toyofuel Nov 01, 2015 at 01:44 AM about the 1985 Toyota Corolla

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My model does not have a charcoal canister. South Africa model. There is a large pressure escape when opening the filler cap. The cap is a solid bayonet type.The problem is that on  manily very hot days there is a irregular engine hiccup/splutter, which  I suspect to be as a cause of the pressure build up in the tank. Why does the filler neck have a bypass port, which seems to go back into the tank. The diagrams I am able to get from the internet are not very revealing.

thanks JIm. I have been told once that the tank is to be pressurised but don't quite understand what for. It has a mechanical fuel pump. I am no car guru but just trying to apply my common sense. The part blow-ups are not very clear or helpful either. My mom bought the car in 1985 so its been in in one hand.

It does have a return system, The first Toyota to have a returnless system was 1996 http://www.underhoodservice.com/point-of-no-return-returnless-fuel-injection-systems/
