  2. FUEL LINE


    1. When disconnecting the fuel line, fuel will spray. So perform following procedure.


      1. Disconnect the fuel tube.

      2. Release the pressure remaining in the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly.

      3. Cover the disconnected fuel tank main tube sub-assembly (fuel tube joint and fuel tube connector) with a plastic bag to prevent damage and entry of foreign matter.

    2. Quick Type A:

      Perform the following procedure when disconnecting a fuel tube connector.

      Note

      Remove any foreign matter on the fuel tube connector and fuel pipe before performing this work.
