PROCEDURE
INSTALL FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY
Install a new fuel suction tube set gasket to the fuel tank assembly.
| *a | Protrusion |
| *b | Notch |
Set the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly to the fuel tank assembly.
Note
Make sure that the fuel sender gauge arm does not bend.
Tech Tips
Align the protrusion of the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly with the notch of the tank suction tube support.
INSTALL FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
| *a | "S" Mark |
| *b | Triangle Mark |
Align the triangle mark on new fuel pump gauge retainer with the "S" mark on the fuel tank assembly while pushing down the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly, attach the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Install SST (fuel pump retainer tool assy) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Insert 2 SST (claw) between the service hole and fuel pump gauge retainer, and adjust the position so that the protrusions of the fuel pump gauge retainer are aligned with the grooves of SST (claw) as shown in the illustration.
| *a | SST (Claw) | *b | Triangle Mark |
| *c | Protrusion of Fuel Pump Gauge Retainer | *d | Groove of SST (Claw) |
| *e | Correct | *f | Incorrect |
Note
Ensure that SST (claw) does not cover the triangle mark of the fuel pump gauge retainer.
| *a | SST (Claw) |
| *b | SST (Plate) |
| *c | SST (Bolt and Washer Set) |
While ensuring that SST (plate) is centered, install SST (plate) to 2 SST (claw) with the 2 SST (bolt and washer set).
| *a | SST (Fuel Pump Retainer Tool Assy) |
| *b | Triangle Mark |
| *c | "535" Mark |
| *d | "475" Mark |
While lightly pushing down on SST (fuel pump retainer tool assy), tighten the fuel pump gauge retainer by 1 and a half turns so that the triangle mark on the fuel pump gauge retainer is positioned between the "475" and "535" marks on the fuel tank assembly.
Note
Do not use any tools other than specified in this operation as this may result in damage to the fuel pump gauge retainer or fuel tank assembly.
Do not push down on SST (fuel pump retainer tool assy) excessively as this may make the fuel pump gauge retainer hard to rotate, and may damage components.
Make sure to turn the breaker bar horizontally. If it is turned at an angle, SST (fuel pump retainer tool assy) may come off.
Do not spin SST (fuel pump retainer tool assy) too fast or use an impact wrench as this may damage components.
If SST (fuel pump retainer tool assy) comes off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, loosen the SST (bolt and washer set) and reinstall SST (fuel pump retainer tool assy).
Tech Tips
While pushing down SST (fuel pump retainer tool assy), turn the fuel pump gauge retainer clockwise to tighten. Make sure that the detent of the tank suction tube support does not move out of the groove of the fuel tank assembly.
CONNECT FUEL TANK MAIN TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Tube Joint Clip |
| *a | Fuel Tube Joint |
| *b | O-ring |
| *c | Collar |
| *d | Correct |
| *e | Incorrect |
Push the fuel tube joint onto the plug of the fuel suction plate sub-assembly, then install the tube joint clip.
Note
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.
After installing the tube joint clip, check that the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly is securely connected by pulling on it.
CHECK AIRTIGHTNESS
After installing the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly, check for fuel leaks by first applying soapy water to the area where the fuel suction plate sub-assembly and fuel pump gauge retainer contact, and then blow forcefully into the fuel inlet area through a flexible pouring spout or similar tube.
Blow forcefully until the reverse flow prevention valve inside the fuel inlet activates.
Note
Be careful not to inhale any fuel vapor.
Tech Tips
There should be a faintly audible sound when the reverse flow prevention valve operates.
| *a | Air Bubbles |
If improper installation of the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge 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 fuel suction tube set gasket with new ones. Also, make sure to fully wipe away the soapy water. (Any remaining soapy water can cause the fuel suction tube set gasket to slip and result in an improper seal.)
