GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The main components of the fuel system are fuel tank, fuel pump assembly (with fuel filter, fuel level gauge, fuel
pressure regulator and tank pressure control valve), fuel/vapor separator fuel feed line and fuel vapor line.
For the details of fuel flow and fuel vapor flow, refer to “GENERAL DESCRIPTION” in Section 6E. WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
CAUTION:
The engine of this vehicle requires the use of unleaded fuel only. Use of leaded and/or low lead fuel
can result in engine damage and reduce the effectiveness of the emission control system.

ENGINE FUEL 6C-3
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
Before attempting service of any type on fuel system, the
followings should be always observed in order to reduce
the risk or fire and personal injury.
Disconnect negative cable at battery.
Do not smoke, and place no smoking signs near work
area.
Be sure to have CO
2 fire extinguisher handy.
Be sure to perform work in a well-ventilated area and
away from any open flames (such as gas hot heater).
Wear safety glasses.
To relieve fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank, remove fuel
filler cap from fuel filler neck and then reinstall it.
As fuel feed line is still under high fuel pressure even
after engine was stopped, loosening or disconnecting
fuel feed line directly may cause dangerous spout of
fuel to occur where loosened or disconnected.
Before loosening or disconnecting fuel feed line, make
sure to relieve fuel pressure “FUEL PRESSURE
RELIEF PROCEDURE” in Section 6.
A small amount of fuel may be released after the fuel
line is disconnected. In order to reduce the chance of
personal injury, cover the fitting to be disconnected
with a shop cloth. Be sure to put that cloth in an
approved container when disconnection is completed.
Note that fuel hose connection varies with each type of
pipe. Be sure to connect and clamp each hose cor-
rectly referring to the figure.
[A] : With short pipe, fit hose as far as it reaches pipe joint as shown.
[B] : With the following type pipe, fit hose as far as its peripheral projection as shown.
[C] : With bent pipe, fit hose as far as its bent part as shown or till depth “b”.
[D] : With straight pipe, fit hose till depth “b”.
[E] : With red marked pipe, fit hose end reaches red mark on pipe.

FUEL LINES
INSPECTION
Visually inspect fuel lines for evidence of fuel leakage, hose crack
and deterioration, or damage.
Make sure all clamps are secure.
Replace parts as needed.
FUEL PIPE
REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line according to “FUEL
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE” in Section 6.
2) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
3) Disconnect fuel pipe joint and fuel hose from fuel pipe at the
front and rear of each fuel pipe.
For quick joint (2), disconnect it as follows :
a) Remove mud, dust and/or foreign material between pipe (1)
and joint by blowing compressed air.
b) Unlock joint lock by inserting special tool between pipe and
joint.
Special tool
(A) : 09919-47020
c) Disconnect joint (2) from pipe (1). CAUTION:
Due to the fact that fuel feed line (1) is under high pres-
sure, use special care when servicing it.

WARNING:
A small amount of fuel may be released after fuel hose is
disconnected. In order to reduce the chance of personal
injury, cover hose and pipe to be disconnected with a
shop cloth.
Be sure to put that cloth in an approved container when
disconnection is completed.

6C-6 ENGINE FUEL
FUEL TANK INLET VALVE
REMOVAL
1) Remove fuel filler cap.
2) Insert hose of a hand operated pump into fuel filler hose (1)
and drain fuel in space “A” in the figure.
3) Hoist vehicle and remove clamp (2) and fuel filler hose (1)
from fuel tank.
4) Remove fuel tank inlet valve (1) using flat-bladed screw-
driver.
INSPECTION
Check fuel tank inlet valve for the followings.
Damage
Smooth opening and closing
If any damage or malfunction is found, replace.WARNING:
Refer to the WARNING at the beginning of ON-VEHICLE
SERVICE in this section.
CAUTION:
Do not force pump hose into fuel tank, or pump hose
may damage fuel tank inlet valve (2).

CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage fuel tank inlet valve (1) with flat-
bladed screwdriver.

ENGINE FUEL 6C-7
INSTALLATION
1) Install fuel tank inlet valve (1) to fuel tank.
2) Install fuel filler hose (1) to fuel tank and secure it with clamp
(2).
For proper installation, refer to “COMPONENTS” under “ON-
VEHICLE SERVICE”.
3) Lower vehicle and install fuel filler cap.
FUEL TANK
REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line according to “FUEL
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE” in Section 6.
2) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
3) Hoist vehicle.
4) Disconnect fuel filler hose (1) and breather hose (2) from
filler neck (3).
5) Due to absence of fuel tank drain plug, drain fuel tank by

WARNING:
Before starting the following procedure, be sure to
observe “PRECAUTIONS”.
CAUTION:
Never disconnect fuel filler hose (1) from fuel tank inlet. If
half or more of fuel is remaining to fuel tank, fuel over
flows in this case and come out.
CAUTION:
