Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical issues during repairs.

2. Inspect and Replace Fuel Cap

• Tools Required: None
• Remove the fuel cap and inspect for cracks or damage.
• If damaged, replace the fuel cap with a new one that fits the Genesis G70 specifications.

3. Perform Fuel Pressure Test

• Tools Required: Fuel pressure gauge
• Locate the fuel rail test port and remove the cap.
• Connect the fuel pressure gauge to the test port.
• Turn the ignition to the "ON" position (do not start the engine) and observe the pressure reading.
• If pressure is below specifications, proceed to replace the fuel pump.

4. Replace Fuel Pump (if necessary)

• Tools Required: Socket set, screwdrivers, torque wrench
• Relieve the fuel system pressure by removing the fuel pump fuse and starting the engine until it stalls.
• Disconnect the battery.
• Lift the rear seat to access the fuel pump access panel.
• Remove the access panel and disconnect the fuel lines and electrical connector from the pump.
• Unscrew and remove the fuel pump assembly from the tank.
• Install the new fuel pump assembly and ensure all connections are secure.
• Reinstall the access panel and reconnect the battery.

5. Inspect and Repair EVAP System

• Tools Required: None
• Inspect the charcoal canister for cracks or blockages.
• Check the purge valve and replace if it is stuck open or damaged.
• Clear any blockages in the EVAP hoses.
