9. Disconnect fuel filler hose, vent hose and EVAP hoses at fuel tank side.
10. Support the lower part of fuel tank with transmission jack. CAUTION:
Support the position that fuel tank mounting bands do not
engage.
11. Remove fuel tank mounting bands.
12. Supporting with hands, descend transmission jack carefully, and remove fuel tank. CAUTION:

Make sure that all connection points have been disconnected.

Confirm there is no interference with vehicle.
13. Remove fuel filler tube protector and fuel filler tube, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Surely clamp fuel hoses and insert hose to the length below.

Be sure hose clamp is not placed on swelled area of fuel tube.

Tighten fuel hose clamp so that the distance between its lugs becomes to the following.

To connect quick connector, refer to FL-7, "Quick Connector" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped), and check connections for leakage by applying fuel pres- sure to fuel piping.
2. Start engine and rev it up and make sure there are no fuel leaks at the fuel system tube and hose connec- tions.

After removing/installing rear suspension assembly, make sure to adjust wheel alignment and then, adjust
neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to RSU-5, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection" and BRC-6,
"Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
Precautions for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Required)NAS00063
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI number (Research octane number 91) can be used, but only under the following precautions:

have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium
gasoline as soon as possible.

avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle performance, the use of unleaded premium gasoline is recommended.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel
(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models). Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.
Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control SystemNAS00064

Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for
the multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.

Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.

Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
Precautions for HosesNAS00065
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.

To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose inser-
tion length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with
hose stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up
against hose stopper.)

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Check if there is something wrong with jacket tube of steering column assembly and collar etc. And then if
they are damaged, replace with new one.

If vehicle has a collision light shocked, check column length “L”
as shown in the figure. Then if it is out of the specified value,
replace with new one.

Check the turning torque of steering column with preload gauge
(SST). If it is out of the specified value, repair it or replace with
new one.
INSTALLATION

Refer to PS-12, "COMPONENTS" for tightening torque. Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
Refer to component parts location and do not reuse non-reusable parts.

After removing/installing or replacing steering components, check wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-6,
"Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

After adjusting wheel alignment, adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to BRC-6, "Adjust-
ment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check tilt and telescopic mechanism operating range “L1 ”, “L2 ”
as shown in the figure.

Check if steering wheel operation can turn to the end of the left
and right smoothly. Steering column length “L”: 572 mm (22.52 in)
