Pull Out |
Spread the tip of the tube joint clip, and pull it out in the direction of the arrow.
Disconnect the fuel main tube from the fuel tank assembly.
Note
Clean off any dirt or other foreign matter from the clip before beginning work.
The fuel tube joint is sealed by O-rings to the fuel pump tube and the fuel suction plate, so be careful to prevent damage to and foreign matter sticking to the contact surfaces.
Perform installation and removal procedures with your hands only. Never use any tools.
Do not forcibly bend, fold, or twist the nylon tube.
After disconnecting, protect the contact surfaces by covering them with a plastic bag.
If the nylon tube and fuel suction plate are stuck together, push them together and pull them apart to release them.
SEPARATE NO. 2 FUEL EMISSION TUBE
Remove the clip and disconnect the No. 2 fuel emission tube from the fuel suction plate.
SEPARATE NO. 1 CANISTER OUTLET HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Disconnect the No. 1 canister outlet hose sub-assembly from the fuel suction plate.
REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
Note
Before performing the work, cover the connector of the fuel suction tube assembly and the tube joint with a plastic bag to prevent foreign matter from entering, and then clean off any dirt or other foreign matter.
Install SST to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Temporarily install plate and claw to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Press claw against the rib of the fuel pump gauge retainer, and tighten bolt.
Install SST handle.
While making sure that SST does not rise up, slowly turn handle and loosen the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Note
Be careful not to apply excessive downward force to SST, as this may damage the fuel pump or fuel tank.
Turning SST at an angle may cause it to slip off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, so be sure SST is horizontal when turning.
To prevent damage to parts, do not turn SST too vigorously.
If SST slips off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, loosen SST (bolt) and install SST again.
While holding down the fuel suction tube assembly, remove the fuel tank pump gauge retainer.
