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-88, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ35DE)
or EC-790, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VK45DE).

7. Disconnect fuel filler hose, vent hose and EVAP hoses at fuel
tank side.
8. Support the lower part of fuel tank with transmission jack.
CAUTION:
Support the position that fuel tank mounting bands do not
engage.
9. Remove fuel tank mounting bands.
10. 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.
11. Remove fuel filler tube, as 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 the clamp hand with the top mark until the mark is on the
bolt head flange “A”.

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.
