Part Upgrade Description
EVAP System Tester Kit Lid Instructions Decal

This decal will replace the existing decal that is located on the inside lid of the EVAP tester case. The revised decal will provide a new diagram with a clear layout for hooking up the new EVAP brass adapter, as well as a revised diagram for hook-up of the gas cap tester.

Pump Outlet Hose Tie Wrap
The tie wrap wit be used to secure the pump outlet hose that is located on the air pump of the EVAP System Tester kit. The pump outlet hose must be secured with a tie wrap to discourage improper hose removal/attachment.

EVAP Brass Adapter
The new EVAP brass adapter will enable technicians to perform enhanced pinpoint testing. This brass adapter is a multi-sized hose fitting that can adapt to various sized hoses and will simply screw directly onto the threaded end of the tester hose.
