Service Precaution
When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:
Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except
for those tests where battery voltage is
required.
Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.
Replace all pipes with the same pipe and
fittings that were removed.
Clean and inspect “O" rings. Replace i
f
required.
Always relieve the line pressure before
servicing any fuel system components.
Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until
you have read the instructions and checked
the pictures relating to that repair.
Adhere to all Notices and Cautions.
All gasoline engines are designed to use only
unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline must be
used for proper emission control system operation.
Its use will also minimize spark plug fouling and
extend engine oil life. Using leaded gasoline can
damage the emission control system and could
result in loss of emission warranty coverage.
All cars are equipped with an Evaporative Emission
Control System. The purpose of the system is to
minimize the escape of fuel vapors to the
atmosphere.

Fuel Filter
Removal
CAUTION: When repair to the fuel system has been
completed, start engine and check the fuel system
for loose connection or leakage. For the fuel system
diagnosis, see Section “Driveability and Emission".
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Loosen slowly the fuel filler cap.
NOTE: To prevent spouting out fuel to change the
pressure in the fuel tank.
NOTE: Cover opening of the filler neck to prevent any
dust entering.
3. Disconnect the quick connector into the fuel tube
from the fuel filter.
NOTE: Cover the quick connector to prevent any dus
t
entering and fuel leaking.
NOTE: Refer to “Fuel Tube/Quick Connector Fittings” in
this section when performing any repairs.
4. Pull off fuel filter from holder to side member side.
Inspection
1. Replace the fuel filter if the fuel leaks from fuel filter
body or if the fuel filter body itself is damaged.
2. Replace the filter if it is clogged with dirt o
r
sediment.
Installation
1. Install the filter to holder from side member side.
NOTE: Attend direction of fuel filter. (1) to engine side
(2) to fuel tank side.
NOTE: Verify to hang holder hook to fuel filter.
NOTE: Verify to hang holder hook to fuel filter.

2. Connect the quick connector from the fuel tube to
the fuel filter.
NOTE: Pull of the left checker into the fuel pipe.
NOTE: Refer to “Fuel Tube/Quick Connector Fittings” in
this section when performing any repairs.
3. Tighten fuel filler cap until at least one click are
heard.
4. Connect the battery ground cable.
Inspection
After installation, start engine and check for fuel
leakage.
In–Tank Fuel Filter
The filter is located on the lower end of fuel pickup tube
in the fuel tank. It prevents dirt from entering the fuel
pipe and also stops water unless the filter is completely
submerged in the water. It is a selfcleaning type, no
t
requiring scheduled maintenance. Excess water and
sediment in the tank restricts fuel supply to the engine,
resulting in engine stoppage. In such a case, the tank
must be cleaned thoroughly.

Precautions
Do not light a match or create a flame.
Keep flames away from your work area to preven
t
flammable materials from catching fire.
Disconnect battery ground cable to preven
t
electrical shorts.
Pre-treat piping system or associated parts from
thermal damage or from spattering when welding
or similar heat-generating work.
Cautions During Work

Legend
(1) O-ring
(2) Port
(3) Connector
(4) Plastic Tube
Do not expose the assembly to battery electrolyte or do
not wipe the assembly with a cloth used to wipe off spil
t
battery electorolyte.
Piping that has been splattered with battery electrolyte
or battery electrolyte soaked cloth that was wiped on the
piping cannot be used.
Removal
1. Open the fuel cap to relieve the fuel pressure in the
tank.
Use compressed air to remove any dirt on the fuel
quick connect fittings prior to disconnecting the
fittings.
141R100002
When disconnecting the fuel pipe, cover the area
with a cloth to prevent fuel from splashing as the
fuel pipe may still have some pressure in it.
2. For removal of the quick connector, hold the quick
connector in one hand, and pull out the connento
r
with the other hand while pressing the square
relieve button of the connector, as illustrated.
140R100037
NOTE: Do not use tools of any kind. Only use bare
hands when disconnecting the connector. Use a
lubricant (light oil) and/or push and pull the connecto
r
until the pipe is disconnected.
Cover the connectors that was removed with a
plastic bag, to prevent dust or rain water from
entering.
