To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
drain plug (1) and radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out
under pressure if plug and cap are taken off too soon.
NOTE:
Suspend removed P/S pump at a place where no damage
will be caused during removal and installation of engine
assembly.

General Description
Fuel System
The main components of the fuel system are fuel tank, fuel pump assembly with fuel filter and fuel level gauge
and fuel cut valve, fuel feed line, fuel return line and fuel vapor line.
For the details of fuel flow and fuel vapor flow, refer to “Fuel Delivery System” and “Emission Control System” in
Section 6E.
Fuel Tank
The fuel tank is located under the rear section of the vehicle. The
fuel pump assembly is installed in fuel tank. Whenever servicing
the fuel pump assembly, the fuel tank must be removed from the
vehicle.
