NOTE:
  • Refer to the GE 41413-A  operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission System Diagnosis .
  • Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize or produce smoke from a leak.
  • Ensure that the underbody temperature of the vehicle and the tester are similar.
