INSTALL FUEL TANK VENT TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Apply a light coat of gasoline or grease to a new gasket and install the gasket to the fuel tank.
Install the fuel tank vent tube to the fuel tank.
Note
Be careful not to bend the arm of the fuel sender gauge.
Set the fuel pump gauge retainer on the fuel tank. While holding the fuel tank vent tube, tighten the fuel pump gauge retainer one complete turn by hand.
Temporarily install SST (plate and 4 claws) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Tech Tips
Hold the fuel tank vent tube sub-assembly upright by hand to make that the gasket is not moved out of position.
Be sure to use 4 SST (claws) as shown in the illustration.
Engage SST (claws) securely with the fuel pump gauge retainer ribs to secure SST.
While pressing SST (claws) to the fuel pump gauge retainer ribs securely, install the 4 bolts.
Tech Tips
Install SST while pressing SST (claws) against the fuel pump gauge retainer (toward the center of SST).
Install SST (handle).
Using SST, tighten the fuel pump gauge retainer until the mark on the fuel pump gauge retainer aligns with mark A on the fuel tank, as shown in the illustration.
Note
Do not use any tools other than specified in this operation. Damage to the fuel pump gauge retainer or the fuel tank may result.
Do not press down on SST excessively as this may make the fuel pump gauge retainer hard to rotate, and may damage components.
Make sure to rotate SST (handle) horizontally. If SST (handle) is rotated at an angle, SST may come off.
Do not spin SST too fast or use an impact wrench as this may result in damage to components.
If SST comes off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, loosen SST (bolts) and reinstall SST.
Tech Tips
If the alignment is difficult, make sure the mark on the fuel pump gauge retainer is within range B on the fuel tank.
Lightly press down on SST to prevent it from separating from the fuel pump gauge retainer. While pressing SST, rotate the handle slowly to tighten the fuel pump gauge retainer.
The tips of SST (claws) can be fitted onto the ribs of the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Install the fuel tank return tube and fuel tank main tube to the fuel tank.
Install the 2 fuel tank tubes with the 2 tube joint clips.
Note
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.
INSTALL NO. 1 FUEL TANK CUSHION
Install 2 new fuel tank cushions.
Install the clip to the cushion on the front side.
Tech Tips
Install only 1 clip so that the cushion can be folded back and the wire harness can be installed when the fuel tank assembly is installed to the vehicle.
Install the heat insulator with 4 new clips and nut.
INSTALL FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY
Set a mission jack to the fuel tank.
Lift up the mission jack.
Fold back the 2 cushions.
Connect the 6 harness clips and fuel pump connector to the fuel tank.
Note
Be careful not to cut the wirings.
Install the cushion on the front side with the remaining clip.
Install the 2 fuel tank bands with the 2 pipes and 2 clips.
Connect the 2 fuel tank bands with the 2 bolts.
INSTALL FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE
Install the filler pipe with the bolt.
CONNECT FUEL TANK TO FILLER PIPE HOSE
Connect the filler pipe hose to the fuel tank filler pipe.
CONNECT FUEL TANK BREATHER HOSE
Connect the fuel tank breather hose to the fuel tank filler pipe.
CONNECT FUEL TANK MAIN TUBE AND FUEL TANK RETURN TUBE
Connect the 2 hoses to the 2 tubes.
Move the clamps to the connection points.
Note
Check that there is no damage or foreign matter on the connected part of the pipe.
INSTALL NO. 1 FUEL TANK PROTECTOR
Install the fuel tank protector with the 4 nuts.
TIGHTEN FUEL TANK CAP
BLEED AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM
Using the hand pump, bleed air from the fuel system until pumping becomes difficult.
CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
PERFORM INITIALIZATION
Perform initialization Click here.
Note
Certain systems need to be initialized after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
CHECK FOR FUEL LEAKS
Check that there are no fuel leaks anywhere on the fuel system after performing maintenance.
Tech Tips
When checking for fuel leaks, make sure that there is pressure in fuel line.
