WATER PUMP/GENERATOR DRIVE BELT TENSION INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
1) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanli-
ness. If it is necessary to replace belt, refer to “WATER
PUMP/GENERATOR DRIVE BELT” in this section.
2) Check belt for tension. Belt is in proper tension when it
deflects 4.5 to 5.5 mm (0.18 – 0.22 in.) under thumb pres-
sure (about 10 kg or 22 lb.).
Water pump / generator drive belt tension “a”
4.5 – 5.5 mm (0.18 – 0.22 in.) as deflection/10 kg (22 lbs)
3) If belt is too tight or too loose, adjust it to proper tension by
displacing generator position.
4) Tighten generator adjusting bolt and pivot bolts as specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Generator adjusting bolt (a) : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Generator pivot bolt (b) : 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.0 lb-ft)
5) Connect negative cable at battery. WARNING:
Disconnect negative cable at battery before checking and adjusting belt tension.
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator are still
hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure if cap is taken off too soon.
NOTE:
When replacing belt with a new one, adjust belt tension
to 3 – 4 mm (0.12 – 0.16 in.).

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.
Refill cooling system with proper coolant referring to “COOL-
ING SYSTEM REFILL”.
Verify that there is no coolant leakage at each connection.

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
