WARNING:
Read “General Precautions” when working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-2, "
General Precautions".
REMOVAL
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 fuel level sensor
units for the top of the fuel is above the fuel level sensor units
installation surface.
• As a guide, fuel level becomes the position as shown in the
figure or below when approximately 10 (2-1/4 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-9, "Exploded View".
c. Insert hose 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-411, "
Inspection".
3. Open fuel filler lid.
4. Open filler cap and release the pressure inside fuel tank.
5. Remove rear seat cushion. Refer to SE-98, "

6. Peel off floor carpet, then remove inspection hole cover units by
turning clips clockwise by 90 degrees.
7. Disconnect harness connector and quick connector.
Disconnect quick connector as follows:
Hold the sides of connector, push in tabs (B) and pull out fuel
feed tube.
If quick connector sticks to tube of fuel level sensor unit, push
and pull quick connector several times until they start to move.
Then disconnect them by pulling.

replaced, also replace retainer with new one.
To keep the connecting portion clean and to avoid dam-
age and foreign materials, cover them completely with
plastic bags (A) or something similar.
8. Remove lock ring for fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel
pump assembly with fuel tank lock ring wrench (commercial ser-
vice tool) by turning counterclockwise.
