< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >[HR16DE]
ENGINE ASSEMBLY
 If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, follow the procedures in the applica-
ble sections.
 Always use the support point specified for lifting.
 Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for unavoid-
able reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with a transmission jack or similar tool before
starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.
 For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-48, "
Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift".

WARNING:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” before working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-4, "
General Pre-
caution".
1. Check fuel level with the vehicle on a level surface. If the fuel
gauge indicates more than the level in the figure (full or almost
full), drain fuel from the fuel tank until the fuel gauge indicates
level as shown in the figure or below.
NOTE:
Fuel will be spilled when removing fuel pump assembly if fuel
level is above the fuel pump assembly installation surface.
 As a guide, fuel level is at the level as shown or below when
approximately 15 (3-1/4 Imp gal) of fuel is drained from fuel
tank.
 In case fuel pump does not operate, perform the following pro-
cedure.
a. Insert fuel tubing of less than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter into fuel filler tube through fuel filler opening to
drain fuel from fuel filler tube.

Inspection" (HR16DE with EURO-OBD),
EC-681, "
Inspection" (HR16DE without EURO-OBD), EC-1035, "Inspection" (MR18DE).
3. Open fuel filler lid.
4. Open fuel door and unscrew the fuel filler cap to release the pressure inside the fuel tank.
5. Remove rear seat bottom. Refer to SE-18, "
Removal and Installation".
6. Turn the four retainers 90° in a clockwise direction and remove the fuel pump inspection hole cover.
7. Disconnect electrical connector (A) and fuel feed hose quick
connector (B).
⇐ : Vehicle front
 Disconnect the quick connector using the following procedure.
- Hold the sides of the connector, push in tabs and pull out the
tube.
- If quick connector and tube on fuel pump assembly are stuck,
push and pull several times until they move. Disconnect them
by pulling.
CAUTION:
 The tube can be removed when the tabs are completely
depressed. Do not twist it more than necessary.
 Do not use any tools to remove the quick connector.
 Keep resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the resin tube.
 Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte, from get-
ting on resin tube.
 Do not bend or twist resin tube during installation and removal.
 To keep the connecting portion clean, free of foreign
materials and to avoid damage, cover them completely
with plastic bags or something similar.
 Do not insert plug to prevent damage to O-ring in quick
connector.
