CAUTION:
The fuel tank assembly is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair manual, or the fuel tank assembly may fall off the engine lifter.
BEFORE WORKING ON FUEL SYSTEM
Before inspecting and repairing the fuel system, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
Note
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work.
Do not smoke or work near fire when handling the fuel system.
Keep fuel away from rubber or leather parts.
DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
CAUTION:
Do not disconnect any part of the fuel system until you have discharged the fuel system pressure.
Even after discharging the fuel pressure, place a cloth or equivalent over fittings as you separate them to reduce risk of fuel spray on yourself or in the engine compartment.
Remove the front seat assembly LH.
for Manual Seat:

Fold back the floor carpet and disconnect the joining connector as shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
This connector has the lines of the fuel pump and rear speed sensor.
Start the engine. After the engine stops, turn the ignition switch off.
Tech Tips
DTC P0171/25 (system too lean) may be stored.
Crank the engine again and check that the engine does not start.
Remove the fuel tank cap and let the air out of the fuel tank assembly.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
Note
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work.
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.
Connect the joining connector.
Install the front seat assembly LH.
for Manual Seat:
for Bench Type Seat:

Check for foreign matter in the pipe and around the connector. Clean if necessary. Foreign matter may damage the O-ring or cause leaks in the seal between the pipe and connector.
Do not use any tools to separate the pipe and connector.
Do not forcefully bend or twist the nylon tube.
Check for foreign matter on the pipe seal surface. Clean if necessary.
Put the pipe and connector ends in plastic bags to prevent damage and foreign matter contamination.
If the pipe and connector are stuck together, pinch the connector between your fingers and turn it carefully to disconnect it.
Check for dirt or mud on the seal surface of the disconnected pipe. Clean if necessary.
To protect the disconnected pipe and connector from damage and contamination, cover them with a plastic bag.
Observe these precautions when connecting the fuel tube connector (for quick type A).
Check that there is no damage or contamination in the connected part of the pipe.
Align the axis of the connector with the axis of the pipe. Push the pipe into the connector until the connector makes a "click" sound. If the connection is tight, apply a small amount of fresh spindle oil or gasoline on the tip of the pipe.
