REMOVAL
WARNING:
Follow the “General Precautions” before working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-4, "
General Precau-
tion" .
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-48, "
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-494, "
Fuel Pressure Check" .
8. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
9. Remove the second row seat and the third row LH seat. Refer to SE-54, "
Removal and Installation" (sec-
ond row), SE-62, "
LH Side Seat" (third row).
10. Remove the second and third row rear seat belt buckles mounted on the floor. Refer to SB-7, "
Removal
and Installation of Second Row Seat Belt", SB-9, "Removal and Installation of Third Row Seat Belt".

• The quick connector can be disconnected when the tabsare completely depressed. Do not twist the quick connec-
tor more than necessary.
• Do not use any tools to di sconnect 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 suit able material as shown.
16. Remove the four bolts and remove the fuel tank shield.
17. Remove the propeller shaft. Refer to DLN-194, "
Removal and Installation".
18. Disconnect fuel filler hose, and vent hose at the fuel tank side.

• Connect the quick connector as follows:
- Check the connection for any damage or foreign materials.
- Align the connector with the pipe, t hen insert the connector straight into the pipe until a click is heard.
- After connecting the quick connector, make sure that the connec-
tion 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 en gine, then check the fuel pipe and hose connections for

• When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with the
tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immediately.
• Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.
• After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.
• Lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled, do not
apply any additional lubrication.
