Fuel Tank Side

The pressure relief valve opens when fuel pressure in the fuel tank rises to more than the regulated value. The gas is discharged outside the vehicle to prevent the fuel tank from being damaged.

When fuel tank pressure falls lower than the regulated value, the PCM turns off the fuel tank internal solenoid valve to prevent the tank pressure from continuing to drop (too low a pressure could cause the tank to deform).
