Co-rotation Prevention Check Mark

Press Down

Slowly Rotate

Front Side of Vehicle
While one person presses down to prevent the fuel pump gauge retainer and the fuel suction with pump and gauge tube assembly from rotating together, the other person should firmly press the fuel pump gauge retainer against the threads of the fuel tank assembly, and tighten it by rotating it approximately 180°.
CAUTION:Make sure not to pinch your hands with SST.
Note:Be careful not to apply excessive downward force to SST, as this may damage the fuel suction with pump and gauge tube assembly or fuel tank assembly.
Turning SST at an angle may cause it to slip off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, so make sure SST is horizontal when turning it.
To prevent damage to parts, do not turn SST too vigorously.
Do not rotate the fuel pump gauge retainer when the co-rotation prevention check mark is out of place.
As shown in the illustration, quickly and firmly press down on the part of the fuel pump gauge retainer closest to the front side of the vehicle so that it no longer rises up.

Tip:If the fuel pump gauge retainer cannot be properly pressed down due to the position of SST, set SST in a different position.
When pressing down the fuel pump gauge retainer, there will be a sound or feeling of parts contacting and pressing together when the fuel pump gauge retainer is fully pressed down, and at this point it will stop rising up.

Press Down

Slowly Rotate

Front Side of Vehicle
While one person presses down to prevent the fuel pump gauge retainer and the fuel suction with pump and gauge tube assembly from rotating together, the other person should slowly rotate SST (plate) and tighten the fuel pump gauge retainer until it reaches the start mark on the fuel tank assembly.
CAUTION:Make sure not to pinch your hands with SST.
Check the tightening condition of the fuel pump gauge retainer.

Vernier Caliper

Front Side of Vehicle
Using a vernier caliper, measure the upper surface of the fuel tank assembly in the 3 locations shown in the illustration.
Specification
Difference between the 3 measured values is within 3.0 mm (0.118 in.).
Note:If the difference between measurements is approximately 6.0 mm (0.236 in.), the threads are cross-threaded by one row (6.0 mm (0.236 in.)), so remove and reinstall the fuel pump gauge retainer.

-
CHECK AIRTIGHTNESS
-
After installing the fuel suction tube, check for fuel leaks by first applying soapy water to the area where the suction plate and retainer contact, and then blow your breath forcefully through a flexible pouring spout or similar tube into the fuel inlet area.
-
Blow forcefully until the reverse flow prevention valve inside the fuel inlet activates.
Note:Be careful not to inhale any fuel vapor.
Tip:There should be a faintly audible sound when the reverse flow prevention valve operates.
-
-
If improper installation of the fuel suction with pump and gauge tube assembly, etc. has resulted in a condition where fuel will leak, air will leak out as shown in the illustration.
Note:If air leaks out, recheck the installation condition, and replace the used fuel pump gauge retainer and gasket with new ones. Also, make sure to fully clean away the soapy water. (Any remaining soapy water can cause the gasket to slip and result in an improper assembly.)
-
INSTALL REAR FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
Connect the fuel suction with pump and gauge tube assembly connector.
Install the rear floor service hole cover with new butyl tape.
Note:Be careful that the rear floor service hole cover does not overlap the protrusions of the floor panel when installing.
