Disconnect the quick connector as follows:

Hold the sides of the connector, push in tabs and pull out the
tube.

If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull
several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them
by pulling.
CAUTION:

The quick connector can be disconnected when the tabs
are completely depressed. Do not twist the quick connec-
tor more than necessary.

Do not use any tools to disconnect the quick connector.

Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the tube.

Prevent any acid liquids such as battery electrolyte, from
getting on the resin tube.

Do not bend or twist the resin tube during connection.

Do not remove the remaining retainer on the hard tube (or
the equivalent) except when the resin tube or the retainer
is replaced.

When the resin tube or hard tube, or the equivalent, is
replaced, also replace the retainer with a new one (white
colored retainer).

To keep the quick connector clean and to avoid damage
and contamination from foreign materials, cover the
quick connector with plastic bags or suitable material as
shown.

11. Remove the lock ring using Tool.
12. Remove the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assem-
bly.
CAUTION:

Do not bend the float arm during removal.

Avoid impacts such as dropping when handling the com-
ponents.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

Connect the quick connector as follows:
–Check the connection for any damage or foreign materials.
–Align the connector with the pipe, then insert the connector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.
–After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the con-
nection is secure by checking as follows:
–Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely
connected.
–Visually inspect the connector to make sure the two retainer tabs
are securely connected.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Turn the ignition switch ON but do not start engine, then check the fuel pipes and hose connections for
leaks while applying fuel pressure to the system.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle speed, then check that there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe
and hose connections.Tool number : — (J-46536)

After installing leaf spring clamps, apply force to them in the

Precautions for Engine OilsEAS001FC
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.

Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.

Do not put oily rags in pockets.

Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.

Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regu-
larly.

First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.

Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.

Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Prepa-
rations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.

Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.

Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.

Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face
shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste disposal contractors to licensed waste dis-
posal sites, or to the waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority for advice on disposal
facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains, or into water sources.
The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.
Precautions for Air ConditioningEAS001FD
Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air conditioning system must be discharged. Refer to
ATC-175, "
HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Procedure" for specific instructions.
