REMOVAL
WARNING:
Follow the “General Precautions” before working on the fuel system. Refer to GI-3, "
General Precau-
tion" .
1. Remove the fuel filler cap to release the pressure from inside the fuel tank.
2. 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.
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. Remove the LH rear wheel and tire. Refer to WT-7, "
Rotation" .
c. Remove the four clips and remove the rear fender protector,
front.

d. Disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe.
e. 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.
3. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-80, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .
4. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
5. Remove the second row LH seat and the third row LH seat. Refer to SE-89, "
Removal and Installation"
(second row), SE-95, "LH Side Seat" (third row).
6. Remove the second and third row rear seat belt buckles mounted on the floor. Refer to SB-3
.
7. Remove the LH center pillar trim, the LH rear trim panel, and the LH rear side door kick plate and weather
stripping. Refer to EI-34
.
8. Remove the second row rear center console and base, if equipped. Refer to EI-36
.
9. Reposition the floor carpet out of the way to access the inspection hole cover, located under the center LH
rear seat.
10. Remove the inspection hole cover by turning the retainers 90°
degrees clockwise.
• Remove the O-ring.
11. Disconnect the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump
assembly electrical connector, the EVAP hose, and the fuel feed

with a suitable lift jack.
20. Disconnect the EVAP hose from the molded clip in the top of the fuel tank while lowering the fuel tank.
21. Lower the fuel tank using a suitable lift jack and remove it.
22. If necessary, remove the lock ring using Tool.
23. If necessary, remove the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel
pump assembly. Discard the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel
pump assembly O-ring.
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 connec-
