ENGINE COOLING 6B-13
Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as follows :
a) Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water gradually.
b) Check that valve starts to open at specific temperature.
Temperature at which valve begins to open
: 80 – 84°C (176 – 183°F)
Temperature at which valve become fully open
: 95 – 97°C (203°F)
Valve lift
: More than 8 mm at 95°C (203°F)
If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially below or
above specific temperature, thermostat unit should be replaced
with a new one. Such a unit, if reused, will bring about overcool-
ing or overheating tendency.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure for installation noting the following
points.
When positioning thermostat (1) on thermostat case (2), be
sure to position it so that air bleed valve (3) comes at posi-
tion as shown in figure.
Use new O-rings when installing.
Adjust water pump belt tension referring to WATER PUMP/
GENERATOR DRIVE BELT TENSION INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT in this section.
Adjust A/C compressor belt tension (if equipped) referring to
Section 1B.

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.

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.

6) Disconnect fuel pipe joint and fuel hoses from pipes.
For quick joint, disconnect it as follows :
a) Remove mud, dust and/or foreign material between pipe
and joint by blowing compressed air.
b) Unlock joint (1) lock by inserting special tool between pipe
(2) and joint (1).
Special tool

c) Disconnect joint from pipe.
7) Support fuel tank (1) with jack (2) and remove its mounting
bolts.
8) Lower fuel tank a little as to disconnect wire harness at con-
nector (1), then remove fuel tank.
INSPECTION
After removing fuel tank, check hoses and pipes connected to
fuel tank for leaks, loose connections, deterioration or damage.
Also check fuel pump assembly gaskets for leaks, visually inspect
fuel tank for leaks and damage.
Replace any damaged or malconditioned parts.WARNING:
A small amount of fuel may be released after the fuel
hose is disconnected. In order to reduce the chance of
personal injury, cover the hose and pipe to be discon-
nected with a shop cloth. Be sure to put that cloth in an
approved container when disconnection is completed.

FUEL TANK PURGING PROCEDURE
The following procedure is used for purging fuel tank.
1) After removing fuel tank, remove all hoses, pipes, fuel pump
assembly from fuel tank.
2) Drain all remaining fuel from tank.
3) Move tank to flushing area.
4) Fill tank with warm water or tap water, and agitate vigorously
and drain. Repeat this washing until inside of tank is clean.
Replace tank if its inside is rusty.
5) Completely flush out remaining water after washing.
INSTALLATION
1) If parts have been removed from fuel tank, install them
before installing fuel tank to vehicle.
2) Raise fuel tank (1) with jack and connect connector of fuel
pump and gauge and clamp wire harness.
3) Install fuel tank to vehicle.
Tightening torque
Fuel tank bolt (a) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
4) Connect fuel filler hose (1) and breather hose (2) to filler
neck (3) as shown in figure and clamp them securely.
Tightening torque
Fuel filler hose clamp (a) : 1.5 N·m (0.15 kg-m, 1.0 lb-ft) WARNING:
This purging procedure will not remove all fuel vapor.
Do not attempt any repair on tank using heat of flame as
an explosion resulting in personal injury could occur.
CAUTION:
Never remain water in fuel tank after washing, or fuel
tank inside will get corrosion.

3) Remove fuel pump assembly (1) from fuel tank (2).
INSPECTION
Check fuel pump assembly for damage.
Check fuel suction filter (1) for evidence of dirt and contami-
nation.
If present, replace or clean and check for presence of dirt in
fuel tank.
For operation or electrical circuit inspection by referring to
Section 6E1.
For inspection of fuel level gauge (2) by referring to Section
8.
Check tank pressure control valve referring to the following
procedures.
a) Air should pass through valve (2) smoothly from fuel vapor
line hose (3) “A” to “B” when blown hard.
b) Also, when vacuum pump (4) is connected to fuel vapor
hose and pump air through valve, air should pass from “B”
to “A”.
Special tool
(A) : 09917-47910
If air doesn’t pass through valve in Step a) or vacuum is main-
tained in Step b), replace fuel filter assembly (1).
