|
Press quickly and firmly |
|
Front |
While pressing down on the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly, have another person firmly press the fuel pump gauge retainer against the threads of the fuel tank assembly, and tighten the fuel pump gauge retainer by approximately 90°.
Note
To prevent damage to parts, do not turn SST too vigorously.
Do not turn the fuel pump gauge retainer if the paint marks become misaligned.
Quickly and firmly press down on the part of the fuel pump gauge retainer closest to the rear of the vehicle to keep it from rising up.
Tech Tips
If the fuel pump gauge retainer cannot be properly pressed down due to the position of SST, set SST in a different position.
When fully pressing down the fuel pump gauge retainer, there will be a sound or tactile sensation of parts contacting each other, and at this point the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly will stop rising up.
| *a | SST (Plate) |
| *b | One Person in Charge of Tightening |
| *c | One Person in Charge of Pressing Down |
| *d | Approximately 180° |
|
Front |
While pressing down on the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly, have another person slowly tighten the fuel pump gauge retainer by approximately 180°.
Check the tightening status of the fuel pump gauge retainer.
| *1 | Fuel Pump Gauge Retainer |
| *2 | Fuel Tank Assembly |
| *a | Measurement Position |
| *b | Vernier Caliper |
|
Front |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the distance from the fuel tank assembly to the upper surface of the fuel pump gauge retainer at 3 positions as shown in the illustration.
| Standard |
|---|
| Difference between the 3 measured values is 3 mm (0.118 in.) or less. |
Note
If the difference between measurements is approximately 6 mm (0.236 in.), the threads are cross-threaded by 1 row (6 mm (0.236 in.)), so remove and reinstall the fuel pump gauge retainer.
| *a | SST (Handle) |
| *b | SST (Plate) |
| *c | One Person in Charge of Tightening |
| *d | One Person in Charge of Pressing Down |
| *e | Approximately 90° |
|
Front |
Install SST (handle) to SST (plate).
While pressing down on the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly, have another person use SST (handle) to slowly tighten the fuel pump gauge retainer approximately 90°.

Check that there are no scratches or foreign matter around the connecting parts of the fuel tube joint and plug before performing this work.
Check that the fuel tube joint is securely inserted to the end.
Check that the tube joint clip is on the collar of the fuel tube joint as shown in the illustration.
After installing the tube joint clip, check that the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly is securely connected by pulling on it.
CHECK AIRTIGHTNESS
| *a | Soapy Water Application Area |
Apply soapy water to the contact areas between the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly and fuel pump gauge retainer.
Note
Cover the connector of the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly with protective tape.
| *a | Vacuum Pump |
| *b | Port (A) |
Install a vacuum pump to the port (A) of the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly as shown in the illustration.
| *a | Port (A) |
| *b | Port (B) |
| *c | Port (C) |
| *d | Vacuum Pump |
Close the port (B) and port (C), and use the vacuum pump to apply 5 kPa (0.1 kgf/cm2, 0.7 psi) of compressed air to the port (A) as shown in the illustration.
Note
Do not apply more compressed air than necessary.
Check that the contact areas between the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly and fuel pump gauge retainer are airtight.
Note
If air bubbles appear, remove and reinstall the fuel pump gauge retainer.
After a fuel pump gauge retainer and fuel suction tube set gasket have been used once, replace them with new parts.
When removing and reinstalling the fuel pump gauge retainer, make sure to clean away the soapy water to prevent the fuel suction tube set gasket from slipping out of position and being assembled incorrectly.
