WARNING:
Read “General Precautions” when working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-3, "
General Precautions" .
1. Check fuel level on fuel gauge. If fuel gauge indicates more than the level as shown in the figure (full or almost full), drain fuel
from fuel tank until fuel gauge indicates level as shown in the fig-
ure or below.
NOTE:
Because fuel will be spilled when removing main and sub fuel
level sensor units for the top of the fuel is above the main and
sub fuel level sensor units installation surface.

As a guide, fuel level becomes the position as shown in the
figure or below when approximately 20 (5-1/4 US gal, 4-3/8
Imp gal) of fuel are drained from fuel tank.

In a case that fuel pump does not operate, perform the follow-
ing procedure.
a. Insert hose of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter into fuel filler tube through fuel filler opening to draw fuel from fuel filler tube.
b. Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler tube. Refer to FL-10, "
FUEL TANK" .
c. Insert fuel tube into fuel tank through fuel filler hose to draw fuel from fuel tank.
2. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-86, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ35DE)
or EC-746, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VK45DE).

CAUTION:

Quick connector can be disconnected when the tabs
are completely depressed. Do not twist it more than
necessary.

Do not use any tools to disconnected quick connector.

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

Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte, etc.
from getting on resin tube.

Do not bend or twist resin tube during installation and
disconnection.

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

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

To keep the connecting portion clean and to avoid
damage and foreign materials, cover them completely
with plastic bags or something similar.
8. Remove main fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly, and sub fuel level sensor unit as follows:
CAUTION:

Do not bend float arm during removal.

Avoid impacts such as falling when handling components.
a. Removal of main fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly:
i. Remove retainer.
ii. Raise main fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly, and using snap ring pliers, remove fuel hose connec-
tor.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage fuel hose connector by expanding
them excessively.
b. Removal of sub fuel level sensor unit:
i. Remove retainer.
ii. Raise and release sub fuel level sensor unit to remove.
INSTALLATION
Note to the following, and install in the reverse order of removal. Retainer color: White

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" .
