General Precau-
tions" .
1. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank, if necessary.
Position the vehicle so it is level.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap to release the pressure from inside the fuel tank.
3. Check the fuel level on level gauge. If the fuel gauge indicates more than the level as shown (full or almost full), drain the fuel
from the fuel tank until the fuel gauge indicates the level as
shown, or less.
If the fuel pump does not operate, use the following procedure
to drain the fuel to the specified level after disconnecting the
fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe.
a. Insert a suitable hose of less than 15 mm (0.59 in) diameter into the fuel filler pipe through the fuel filler opening to drain the fuel
from fuel filler pipe.
b. Insert a suitable hose into the fuel tank through the fuel filler hose to drain the fuel from the fuel tank.
As a guide, the fuel level reaches the fuel gauge position as shown, or less, when approximately 14
liters (3 3/4 US gal, 3 1/8 Imp gal) of fuel are drained from the fuel tank.
4. Remove the LH rear wheel and tire. Refer to WT-7, "
Rotation" .
5. Remove the four clips and remove the rear fender protector, front.
6. Disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe and dis- connect the vent hose quick connector.
7. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-80, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
8. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
9. Remove the second row LH seat and the third row LH seat. Refer to SE-98, "
Second Row Outboard"
(second row), SE-105, "LH Side Seat" (third row).
10. Remove the second and third row rear seat belt buckles mounted on the floor. Refer to SB-3, "

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.
16. Remove the four bolts and remove the fuel tank shield.
17. Remove the propeller shaft. Refer to PR-8, "
REAR PROPELLER SHAFT" .
18. Disconnect fuel filler hose, and vent hose at the fuel tank side.
19. Remove the fuel tank strap bolts while supporting the fuel tank with a suitable lift jack.

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.
For installation, use a new fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly O-ring.
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 pipe and hose connections forleaks while applying fuel pressure.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle, then check that there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe and hose connections.Tool number : — (J-46536)
