REMOVAL
WARNING:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” before working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-3, "
General Pre-
cautions" .
1. Check fuel level on fuel gauge. If fuel gauge indicates more than
the level as shown in the figure (full or almost full), drain fuel
from fuel tank until fuel gauge indicates level as shown in the fig-
ure or below.
NOTE:
Because fuel will be spilled when removing fuel level sensor unit
for the top of fuel is above the fuel level sensor unit installation
surface.
As a guide, fuel level becomes the position as shown in the
figure or below when approximately 10 (2-1/4 Imp gal) of
fuel are drained from fuel tank.
In a case that fuel pump does not operate, perform the follow-
ing procedure.
a. Insert hose of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter into fuel filler tube through fuel filler opening to draw
fuel from fuel filler tube.
b. Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler tube. Refer to FL-8, "
FUEL TANK" .
c. Insert hose into fuel tank through fuel filler hose to draw fuel from fuel tank.
2. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-49, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (QR20DE
), or EC-392, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ23DE and VQ35DE).
3. Open fuel filler lid.
4. Open fuel filler cap and release the pressure inside fuel tank.
5. Remove rear seat cushion. Refer to SE-112, "
REAR SEAT" .

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT, FUEL FILTER AND FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Quick connector can be disconnected when the tabs
are completely depressed. Do not twist it more than
necessary.
Do not use any tools to disconnected quick connector.
Keep resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the resin tube.
Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte, etc.
from getting on resin tube.
Do not bend or twist resin tube during installation and
disconnection.
Do not remove the remaining retainer on hard tube (or
the equivalent) except when resin tube or retainer is
replaced.
When resin tube or hard tube (or the equivalent) is
replaced, also replace retainer with new one.
Replace same color retainer as before replacing.
To keep the connecting portion clean and to avoid
damage and foreign materials, cover them completely
with plastic bags or something similar.
8. Using fuel tank lock ring wrench (commercial service tool),
remove lock ring.
9. Remove fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assem-
bly.
CAUTION:
Do not bend float arm during removal.
Avoid polluting the inside by residue fuel. Draw out with
avoiding inclination by supporting with a cloth.
Avoid impacts such as falling when handling compo-
nents.Retainer color: White

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Fuel Level Sensor Unit, Fuel Filter and Fuel Pump Assembly
1. Install seal packing to fuel tank without any twist.
2. Align “B” with “A” as shown in the figure. Install fuel level sensor
unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly to fuel tank.
CAUTION:
Do not bend float arm during installing.
3. Tighten lock ring with lock ring wrench (commercial service tool).
CAUTION:
Install lock ring horizontally.
Quick Connector
Connect quick connector of fuel feed hose as follows:
1. Check the connection for damage or any foreign materials.
2. Align the connector with the tube, then insert the connector straight into the tube until a click sound is
heard.
3. After connecting, make sure that the connection is secure by following method.
Visually confirm that the two tabs are connected to the connector.
Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are
securely connected.
Inspection Hole Cover
1. Install inspection hole cover with front mark (arrow) facing front of vehicle.
2. Lock clips by turning counter-clockwise.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped), then check connections for leaks by applying fuel pres-
sure to fuel piping.
2. Start engine and rev it up and make sure there are no fuel leaks at the fuel system connections.
