PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL FUEL TANK TO FILLER PIPE HOSE


    1. B003PGAC01
      *a Protrusion
      *b Paint Mark (White)
      *c RH Side of Vehicle
      *d Front Side of Vehicle
      *e Do not place clamp within this range

      Install the fuel tank to filler pipe hose to the fuel tank assembly, and tighten the clamp to secure the hose.

      Tech Tips

      Make sure the clamp is oriented as shown in the illustration.

  2. INSTALL FUEL TANK VENT TUBE ASSEMBLY


    1. Apply a light coat of gasoline or grease to a new fuel tank vent tube gasket, and install it to the fuel tank assembly.

    2. Install the fuel tank vent tube assembly to the fuel tank assembly.

      Note

      Be careful not to bend the arm of the fuel sender gauge assembly.

    3. B003NPMC02
      *a Protrusion
      B003R2S Hole

      Align the protrusions of the fuel tank vent tube assembly with the holes in the fuel tank assembly.

    4. While pressing down on the fuel tank vent tube assembly, temporarily install the fuel pump gauge retainer.

    5. B003J39C01
      *a SST (Plate)
      *b SST (Claw)
      *c Insertion Point

      Set the 2 claws and plate of SST on the fuel pump gauge retainer.

      SST
      09808-14030   ( 09808-01010, 09808-01030, 09808-01040 )

      Tech Tips

      Securely insert the ends of SST into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer.

    6. While firmly pressing the claws of SST into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer, tighten the bolts of the claws.

    7. Attach the handle of SST.

    8. B003MVHC01
      *a Alignment Mark
      *b Groove
      B003R2S Turn
      B003LF2 Front of Vehicle

      Using SST, rotate the fuel pump gauge retainer so that the protrusions of the fuel pump gauge retainer are aligned with the grooves in the fuel tank assembly to install the fuel tank vent tube assembly to the fuel tank assembly.

      Note


      • Do not use any tools other than SST, such as a screwdriver, etc.

      • Do not use excessive force when pressing down on SST, as the fuel pump gauge retainer will place excessive force on the fuel tank vent tube assembly and be difficult to remove, and parts may be damaged.

      • Be sure to keep the handle level when turning it, as SST may slip off the retainer if the handle is turned at an angle with excessive force.

      • Do not use an impact wrench or turn the handle with excessive force, as parts may be damaged.

      • If SST slips off the fuel pump gauge retainer, loosen the bolts and reattach SST to the fuel pump gauge retainer.

    9. Insert the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly and fuel tank return tube into the plugs of the fuel tank vent tube assembly and fix them in place with the 2 tube joint clips.

      Note

      B003LEBC01
      *a Fuel Tube Joint
      *b Tube Joint Clip
      *c O-Ring
      *d Fuel Tank Vent Tube Assembly
      *e Collar
      *f CORRECT
      *g INCORRECT

      • Check that there are no scratches or foreign objects on the connecting parts.

      • Check that the fuel tube joints are inserted securely.

      • Check that the tube joint clips are on the collars of the fuel tube joints.

      • After installing the tube joint clips, check that the fuel tube joints cannot be pulled off.

      • Be careful not to damage any clips.

        If a clip is damaged, replace it.

  3. INSTALL FUEL TANK CUSHION


    1. Install the 3 new fuel tank cushions to the fuel tank assembly.

  4. INSTALL NO. 1 FUEL TANK HEAT INSULATOR


    1. Install the No. 1 fuel tank heat insulator with the 4 fuel tank bolts and 2 nuts.

      Torque:

  5. INSTALL FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY


    1. Set the fuel tank assembly on an engine lifter and raise the fuel tank assembly.

      Note

      Do not allow the fuel tank assembly to contact the vehicle, especially the differential.

    2. B003QFQC01
      *1 Fuel Tank Cushion
      *2 Wire Harness
      *3 Fuel Tank Assembly

      Fold back approximately half of each fuel tank cushion so that the wire harness can be installed in the step below.

    3. Attach the wire harness to the 6 clamps and connect the fuel sender gauge connector.

      Note

      Be careful not to cut the wire harness.

    4. Install the 3 fuel tank bands with the 3 fuel tank band pins and 3 clips.

    5. Install the 3 fuel tank bands with the 3 bolts.

      Torque:
      45 N*m  { 459 kgf*cm, 33 ft.*lbf }

  6. CONNECT FUEL TANK TO FILLER PIPE HOSE
