REMOVAL
WARNING:
Follow the “General Precautions” before working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-4, "
General Precau-
tions" .
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 RELEASE" .
4. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
5. Remove the second row LH seat and the third row LH seat. Refer to SE-98, "
Second Row Outboard"
(second row), SE-105, "LH Side Seat" (third row).
6. Remove the second and third row rear seat belt buckles mounted on the floor. Refer to SB-3, "
SEAT
BELTS" .
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-35, "
BODY SIDE TRIM" .
8. Remove the second row rear center console and base, if equipped. Refer to EI-37, "
FLOOR TRIM" .
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

Disconnect the quick connector as follows:

Hold the sides of the connector, push in tabs and pull out the
tube.

If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull
several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them
by pulling.
CAUTION:

The quick connector can be disconnected when the tabs
are completely depressed. Do not twist the quick connec-
tor more than necessary.

Do not use any tools to disconnect 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 suitable material as
shown.

12. Remove the lock ring using Tool.
13. Remove the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assem-
bly. Remove and 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 con-
nection 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 engine, then check the fuel pipes and hose connections forleaks while applying fuel pressure to the system.
2. Start the engine and rev it above idle speed, then check that there are no fuel leaks at any of the fuel pipe and hose connections.Tool number : — (J-46536)
