NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.
“Hard water”, if used, will foul up the cooling circuit by scale formation. Tap water available from
city water supply is the best available water, in a practical sense, for the cooling system. Distilled
water is ideal but is a luxury in most cases.

General Description
Fuel System
The main components of the fuel system are fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel level gauge and it includes
three lines, fuel feed line, fuel return line and fuel vapor line.
For the details of fuel flow and fuel vapor flow, refer to Section 6E2.NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.

Fuel Tank
REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line referring to Section 6
or Section 6-1.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Before disconnecting fuel filler hose, give match marks on
fuel filler hose and fuel filler neck.
4) Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler neck.
5) Insert hose of a hand operated pump into fuel filler hose and
drain fuel in space “A” in the figure (drain fuel through it till
fuel stops).
6) Remove fuel tank filler hose protector.
Disconnect filler hose from fuel tank and breather hose from
fuel filler neck.
7) Remove fuel tank inlet valve. Use care not to damage inlet
valve when removing.
8) Drain fuel tank by pumping fuel out through fuel tank filler.
Use hand operated pump device to drain fuel tank.
9) Disconnect fuel filter inlet hose from filter.CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
CAUTION:
Do not force hose of a hand operated pump into fuel
tank. Doing so can damage inlet valve.

10) Disconnect fuel vapor hose and return hose from pipes.
11) Remove fuel tank protector (if equipped) from vehicle.
12) Lower fuel tank gradually while holding it horizontally and
pull out coupler at fuel pump.
INSPECTION
After removing fuel tank, check hoses and pipes connected to
fuel tank for leaks, loose connections, deterioration or damage.
Also check fuel pump and level gauge gaskets for leaks, visually
inspect fuel tank for leaks and damage.
Replace any damaged or malconditioned parts.
1. Fuel pump
2. Coupler

INSTALLATION
1) Install fuel pump assembly, fuel cut valve and vapor control
valve to fuel tank. Refer to “FUEL PUMP” in this section.
2) Connect fuel hoses to fuel tank, fuel cut valve, and vapor
control valve, check valve and fuel pump assembly.
After connecting, clamp hoses securely.
3) Install inlet valve to fuel tank. If deformed or damaged in any
other way, replace with a new one.
4) Install fuel tank by using fuel tank belts and then install pro-
tector to vehicle.
Tightening torque
Fuel tank bolt (a) : 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft)
Fuel tank protector bolt (a) : 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft)
5) Connect fuel filler hose to fuel filler neck with match the
match marks. And then clamp the securely.
6) Connect fuel filler hose to fuel tank and breather hose to fuel
filler neck. Clamp them securely.
Tightening torque
Breather hose clamp (b) : 2.0 N·m (0.2 kg-m, 2.0 lb-ft)
Fuel filler hose clamp (c) : 4.0 N·m (0.4 kg-m, 3.0 lb-ft)
7) Install fuel filler hose protector.
8) Connect fuel vapor hose (1) and return hose (2) to fuel pipe
and clamp them securely.
9) Connect fuel filter inlet hose to fuel filter.
10) Connect coupler to fuel pump assembly.
11) Connect negative (–) cable to battery.
12) Upon completion of installation, check fuel system for leak-
age.

Fuel Lines
Due to the fact that fuel feed line is under high pressure, this sys-
tem requires special consideration for service.
The feed pipe uses screw couplings and hose clamps.
INSPECTION
Visually inspect fuel lines for evidence of fuel leakage, hose
cracking and deterioration, or damage. Make sure all clamps are
secure. Replace parts as needed.
