Methods and systems are provided for detecting leaks in an engine fuel system coupled in a vehicle including a first fuel tank and a second fuel tank, and a canister coupled together via a three-way valve. A leak test may be initially performed on the first fuel tank by supplying vacuum to the first fuel tank. The second fuel tank may be tested for leaks immediately following the leak test on the first fuel tank by recycling vacuum from the first fuel tank.
