REMOVAL
1) Release fuel pressure in fuel feed line by referring to Section
6.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Drain coolant.
4) Remove strut tower bar (2).
5) Disconnect coupler from intake air temp. sensor, and MAF
sensor.
6) Remove surge tank cover (1).
7) Remove air cleaner upper case, intake air hose, intake air
pipe (1) and surge tank pipe (2) as one component. Do not
disassemble them, when removing and reinstalling. CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
drain plug and radiator cap while engine and radiator are
still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under
pressure if plug and cap are taken off too soon.

General Description
Fuel System
The main components of the fuel system are fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel level gauge and it includes
three lines, fuel feed line, fuel return line and fuel vapor line.
For the details of fuel flow and fuel vapor flow, refer to Section 6E2.NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.

REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line referring to Section 6
or Section 6-1.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Before disconnecting fuel filler hose, give match marks on
fuel filler hose and fuel filler neck.
4) Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler neck.
5) Insert hose of a hand operated pump into fuel filler hose and
drain fuel in space “A” in the figure (drain fuel through it till
fuel stops).
6) Remove fuel tank filler hose protector.
Disconnect filler hose from fuel tank and breather hose from
fuel filler neck.
7) Remove fuel tank inlet valve. Use care not to damage inlet
valve when removing.
8) Drain fuel tank by pumping fuel out through fuel tank filler.
Use hand operated pump device to drain fuel tank.
9) Disconnect fuel filter inlet hose from filter.CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
CAUTION:
Do not force hose of a hand operated pump into fuel
tank. Doing so can damage inlet valve.
