Fuel System Trouble in General
31.Fuel System Trouble in General
A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
 When the vehicle is left unattended for an extended period of time, water may accumulate in the fuel tank.
To prevent water condensation.
(1) Top off the fuel tank or drain the fuel completely.
(2) Drain the water condensation from the fuel filter.
 Refilling the fuel tank.
Refill the fuel tank while there is still some fuel left in the tank.
 Protecting the fuel system against freezing and water condensation.
(3) Cold areas:
In snow-covered areas, mountainous areas, skiing areas, etc. where ambient temperatures drop below
0°C (32°F) throughout the winter season, use an anti-freeze solution in the cooling system. Refueling will
also complement the effect of anti-freeze solution each time the fuel level drops to about one-half. After
the winter season, drain the water which may have accumulated in the fuel filter and fuel tank in the man-
ner same as that described under “Affected areas” below.
(4) Affected areas:
When the water condensation is notched in the fuel filter, drain the water from both the fuel filter and fuel
tank or use a water removing agent (or anti-freeze solution) in the fuel tank.
 Observe the instructions, notes, etc., indicated on the label affixed to the anti-freeze solution (water remov-
ing agent) container before use.
Trouble and possible cause Corrective action
1. Insufficient fuel supply to the injector
1) Fuel pump will not operate.
