Should the inspector perform disassembly of the vehicle to inspect for liquid fuel leaks?

• A. No
• B. Yes
• C. Only with written authorization
• D. Only for EVAP system components

Answer: (C)

Disassembly is not part of a standard visual inspection. Inspectors typically check for leaks in accessible areas without taking the vehicle apart. If a leak might be hidden behind panels or inside components, the proper procedure is to obtain written authorization before proceeding with any disassembly. This ensures safety, clarifies the scope of work, and provides documentation for the more invasive check. So the correct approach is to perform disassembly only with written authorization. The other options don’t fit because disassembly isn’t allowed automatically, and it isn’t limited only to EVAP components.
