Checking Fuel LinesEBS00KOS
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionsEBS00KOT
WARNING:
when replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
●Put a “ CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE” sign in workshop.
●Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
●Do not smoke while servicing fuel system, keep open flames and spark away from work area.
CAUTION:
●Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures.
–a) Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely, keep the container
in safe area.
–b) Release fuel pressure from fuel line, Refer to EC-775, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE
(WITH EURO-OBD)], EC-1139, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITHOUT EURO-OBD)],
EC-42, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR25DE (WITH EURO-OBD)] or EC-452, "FUEL PRESSURE
RELEASE" [QR25DE (WITHOUT EURO-OBD)].
–c) Disconnect battery ground cable.
●Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
●Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
●Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp
end is 3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Ensure that screw does not contact adjacent parts.
●After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
–a) Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition
switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel
leaks at connections.
–b) Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at
connections.

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT, FUEL FILTER AND FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY
3. Separate the fuel filter and fuel level sensor unit.
a. Fit a used O-ring into space between fuel level sensor unit and
fuel filter. Undo catches and separate fuel level sensor unit and
fuel filter.
●For reference when reassembling, put a mating mark on outer
edges of fuel level sensor unit and fuel filter with some means
which cannot be erased by fuel.
b. Insert blade end screwdriver to the gap between the fuel filter
and fuel level sensor unit to separate them.
CAUTION:
Put cloth or similar one on the edge of screwdriver not to
damage the inserted portion.
4. Remove pressure regulator from fuel filter.
a. Open and remove the clip.
b. Pull the pressure regulator straight out during removal.
CAUTION:
●Avoid impacts such as falling during removal.
●Do not disassemble or adjust.
ASSEMBLY
Install in the reverse order of removal paying attention to the following.
●Install the fuel filter and fuel pump with the tabs aligned, Make sure a click sound of secure engagement is
heard.
●Securely connect the harness connector of the fuel pump.
●Install the pressure regulator O-ring as follows.
CAUTION:
●When replacing, always use a new O-ring.
●Handle it with bare hands. (Do not use gloves.)
●Visually check the O-ring, mounting parts and mating parts for foreign materials and flaws.
●Before installing, apply new engine oil.
●To avid damage, do not apply an excessive force (pulling or starching).
●Install the pressure regulator as follows.
1. Insert the clip to the groove of the pressure regulator.
2. With the clip installed, insert the pressure regulator straight by
matching the fuel filter protrusion and the clip notch.
3. Make sure that the fuel filter protrusion and clip notch are
securely engaged.

Install in reverse order of removal, paying attention to following:
●Replace O-ring on drain plug with new one.
●Screw the fuel filter by hand until packing contacts sealing surface of bracket. Then tighten it by turning
approximately 2/3 turn.
●After installation, bleed air from fuel path. Refer to FL-16, "Air Bleeding" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Air Bleeding
EBS00BLB
After fuel filter is replaced and after fuel system components are
removed/installed, bleed air from fuel path as follows:
1. Move priming pump up and down to bleed air from fuel path.
2. When air is bled, pumping of priming pump becomes heavy stop
operation at that time.
3. Crank the engine until it starts. Do not crank the engine for more
than 30 seconds.
4. If the engine does not starts, stop cranking and repeat step 1
above.
5. If the engine does not operate smoothly after it has started, race
it two or three times.
6. If air cannot be bled easily (pumping of priming pump does not become heavy), disconnect feed-side of
hose between fuel filter and electronically controlled fuel injection pump. After that, operate priming pump
and confirm that fuel comes out.
CAUTION:
Prepare a tray to collect fuel. Prevent fuel from adhering to rubber parts, especially the engine
mount insulator.
Draining Water from Fuel FilterEBS00MRU
1. Prepare a tray at the drain hose open end.
2. Loosen drain cock, and operate priming pump to drain water
from fuel filter.
CAUTION:
●Water in filter is drained with fuel. Prepare larger capacity
pan than fuel filter volume.
●Drained water is mixed with fuel. Prevent fuel from adher-
ing to rubber parts such as engine mount insulator.
3. After draining, close drain cock by hand.
CAUTION:
If drain cock is tightened excessively, it may be damaged
and fuel will leak. Do not use tools to tighten drain cock.
4. Bleed air in fuel piping. Refer to FL-16, "
Air Bleeding" .
5. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
