REMOVAL
WARNING:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” when working on fuel system. Refer to FL-14, "
General Precau-
tions" .
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Open the fuel filler cap and release the pressure inside the fuel
tank.
3. Remove rear seat bottom.
4. Peel off floor carpet, then remove inspection hole cover.
5. Disconnect the harness connector, fuel feed tube and fuel return
tube.
6. Drain fuel from fuel tank if necessary. For the draining proce-
dure, refer to step 4 in removal of FL-17, "
FUEL LEVEL SEN-
SOR UNIT" .
CAUTION:
For the safety work and to maintain fuel tank gravity at center, drain fuel to the level where fuel
tank weight at left and right becomes equal.
7. Disconnect the quick connector.
●Put mating marks on hoses for correct installation.
8. Remove exhaust center tube and insulator. Refer to EX-2, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
9. Remove propeller shaft, Refer to PR-2, "
REAR PROPELLER SHAFT" .

10. Using a transmission jack, support the bottom of the rear final
drive.
11. Remove the mounting nuts on the rear suspension member, and
lower the transmission jack carefully until just before the rear
suspension member is removed from the stud bolts on the vehi-
cle.
12. Disconnect fuel filler hose, EVAP hose and vent hose at fuel
tank side.
For disconnection procedure of the quick connector. Refer to
FL-17, "
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT" .
13. Remove fuel tank protector.
14. Remove fuel tank band mounting bolts while supporting fuel
tank.
15. Remove fuel tank.
INSTALLATION
●Install in the reverse order of removal paying attention to the following.
●Surely clamp fuel hoses and insert hose to the length below.
●Be sure hose clamp is not positioned on swelled area of fuel tube.
●Tighten fuel hose clamp so that the distance between its lugs becomes to the following.
●Push the mounting band pin to the vehicle side securely.
●Before fixing the fuel tank, temporarily install the fuel filler tube.
CAUTION:
Use genuine fuel filler tube mounting bolts or equivalent. Make sure to tighten them to the speci-
fied torque.
●To connect the quick connector. Refer to FL-17, "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.

Check plug gap of each spark plug. Adjust or replace if necessary.
●Use a wire brush for cleaning, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.
Checking EVAP Vapor LinesELS000K2
1. Visually inspect EVAP vapor lines for improper attachment and for cracks, damage, loose connections,
chafing and deterioration.
2. Inspect fuel tank filler cap vacuum relief valve for clogging, sticking, etc.
Refer to EC-747, "
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION LINE DRAWING" (QR25DE), EC-1113, "EVAPORATIVE
EMISSION LINE DRAWING" (QR20DE). Spark plug gap: 1.0 - 1.1 mm (0.039 - 0.043 in)
SMA476
Spark plug:
: 19.6 - 29.4 N·m (2.0 - 3.0 kg-m, 15 - 21 ft-lb)
