Excessive fuel tank pressure

Post by Frankie Figs »

I ran the FP on my 07 Si for about 1000 miles without any hiccups. I changed out the IM, TB, and injectors, switched maps, and now my tank builds a lot of pressure. I made sure the EVAP system is enabled in the tune and the EVAP hose to the throttle body has vacuum to it. Now, either my tank is building pressure or it's getting a lot of vacuum put on it to the point where it hisses when I remove the gas cap. This happens with a full tank or almost on empty. I almost forgot to add this, I'm having issues filling up too. I can't get a full tank because the pump keeps kicking off like its full even though it's not.

Can anyone help me with this, it's driving me nuts!

Thanks,
Frankie

This could be caused by any number of changes to the fuel supply / EVAP system. You are going to need to swap whatever items in the fuel supply system / EVAP system which have been changed from stock, back to stock, until you isolate the problem.

I would suggest returning to the stock manifold, throttle body, gaskets & injectors first, running a stock equivalent calibration, then making one change every two tanks of fuel until you narrow down the cause.

That sucks :( maybe I'll start with the throttle body since that is directly connected to the EVAP system. If that doesn't help I'll move onto the harder-to-swap parts. Thanks for the insight! So it has nothing to do with anything in the tune?

I ended up disconnecting the vacuum line from the throttle body so the purge vent is open to atmosphere. Just don't tell the EPA! They might get mad lol
