Fuel Pump Assembly
The fuel pump assembly (1) consists of fuel pump (6), fuel filter
(2), fuel level gauge (5) and fuel cut valve (4).
FUEL PUMP
For structure and operation of the fuel pump, refer to “Fuel Deliv-
ery System” in Section 6E.
FUEL CUT VALVE
The fuel cut valve consists of a float and a spring. It allows only
the fuel vapor to flow into the canister and prevents the fuel from
flowing into the canister.
Fuel Filler Cap
The fuel tank filler neck has a vacuum cap.
A ratchet tightening device on the threaded fuel filler cap reduces
the chances of incorrect installation, which would prevent sealing
fuel vapors.
After the gasket (2) on fuel filler cap and the filler neck flange con-
tact, the ratchet produces a loud clicking noise, indicating the seal
has been set.
This cap has a vacuum relief valve (1) inside.
The vacuum relief valve opens to relieve the vacuum created in
the fuel tank.

On-Vehicle Service
Before work, refer to “Precaution on Fuel System Service” in Sec-
tion 6.
Fuel Lines
Due to the fact that fuel feed line is under high pressure, use spe-
cial care when servicing it.
INSPECTION
Visually inspect fuel lines for evidence of fuel leakage, hose crack
and deterioration, or damage. Make sure all clamps are secure.
Replace parts as needed.
Fuel Filler Cap
Remove cap (1) and check gasket (2) for even filler neck imprint
and deterioration or any damage. If gasket is in malcondition,
replace cap.
Fuel Tank
REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line referring to “Fuel Pres-
sure Relief Procedure” in Section 6.
2) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
3) Remove fuel filler cap.
NOTE:
If cap requires replacement, only a cap with the same fea-
tures should be used. Failure to use correct cap can
result in critical malfunction of system.
WARNING:
Before starting the following procedure, be sure to
observe “Precaution on Fuel System Service” in Sec-
tion 6.
Keep fuel tank horizontally and stably when removing
it. Fuel may come out if tank is tilted. Also, fuel tank
may drop and cause personal injury.

4) Insert hose of a hand operated pump into fuel filler hose (1)
and drain fuel in space “A” in the figure (drain fuel through it
till fuel stops).
5) Hoist vehicle.
6) Remove exhaust center pipe referring to “Components” in
Section 6K and rear propeller shaft referring to “Propeller
Shafts” in Section 4B.
7) Disconnect coupler (1) for fuel pump assembly.
The coupler is close by left rear suspension coil spring (3).
8) Remove fuel tank filler hose protector.
Disconnect filler hose and breather hose from fuel filler neck.
9) Disconnect fuel vapor hose from pipe.
10) With fuel tank supported on a jack, remove fuel tank bolts.
11) Lower fuel tank a little and hold it. Unclamp fuel hoses and
disconnect them from fuel pump assembly (1).
When disconnecting joints of fuel feed line and return line
from pipe, unlock joint by inserting special tool between pipe
(3) and joint lock first.

12) Remove fuel tank (1) from vehicle. Remove fuel tank protec-
tor (3) and inlet valve (2) as necessary.
FUEL TANK PURGING PROCEDURE
The following procedure is used for purging the fuel tank.
1) After removing fuel tank, remove all hoses and fuel pump
assembly from fuel tank.
2) Drain all remaining fuel from tank.
3) Move tank to flushing area.
4) Fill tank with warm water or tap water, and agitate vigorously
and drain. Repeat this washing until inside of tank is clean.
Replace tank if its inside is rusty.
5) Completely flush out remaining water after washing.
CAUTION:
This purging procedure will not remove all fuel vapor. Do
not attempt any repair on tank where heat or flame is
required, as an explosion resulting in personal injury
could occur.

INSTALLATION
1) Install fuel pump (1) assembly to fuel tank. Refer to “Fuel
Pump Assembly” in this section. Install protector to fuel tank.
2) Install inlet valve to fuel tank.
If deformed or damaged in any other way, replace with a new
one.
3) Connect fuel filler and breather hoses to fuel tank and vapor
hose to fuel pump assembly. Clamp them securely.
4) Lift up fuel tank on jack.
Connect fuel feed hose (4) and return hose (3) to pipes as
shown in figure and clamp them securely.
5) Install fuel tank to vehicle and connect wire harness coupler.
6) Connect fuel filler hose and breather hose to fuel filler neck.
Connect fuel vapor hose to pipe. Clamp them securely.
7) Install fuel filler hose protector.
Fuel Pump Assembly
REMOVAL
1) Remove fuel tank from vehicle. Refer to “Fuel Tank” in this
section.
2) Disconnect wire harness coupler and fuel vapor hose from
fuel pump assembly.
3) Remove fuel pump assembly from fuel tank by removing
bolts. CAUTION:
When connecting joint, clean outside surfaces of pipe
where joint is to be inserted, push joint into pipe till joint
lock clicks and check to ensure that pipes are connected
securely, or fuel leak may occur.
2. Quick joint
WARNING:
Before starting the following procedure, be sure to
observe “Precaution on Fuel System Service” in Section
6.

INSPECTION
Check fuel pump assembly for damage.
Check fuel suction filter (1) for evidence of dirt and contamination.
If present, replace or clean and check for presence of dirt in fuel
tank.
For inspection of fuel pump itself, refer to “Table B – 3 Fuel Pres-
sure Check” in Section 6.
For inspection of fuel level gauge, refer to “Fuel Meter / Fuel
Gauge Unit” in Section 8.

3) Connect wire harness coupler (2) and fuel vapor hose (3) to
fuel pump assembly (1).
4) Install fuel tank to vehicle. Refer to “Fuel Tank” in this sec-
tion. CAUTION:
While removing fuel level gauge, do not contact resis-
tor plate (2) or deform arm (3). It may cause fuel level
gauge to fail.
When removing grommet from fuel tube or bracket sub
assembly, be very careful not to cause damage to
grommet installed section (sealed section in bore).
Should it be damaged, replace it with new one, or fuel
will leak from that part.

When removing fuel level gauge, press snap-fit part (1)
and slide it in the arrow direction as shown in figure.
When installing fuel level gauge to housing, fit protru-
sion (4) of fuel level gauge in groove (5) in housing and
