ent, horizontally support them with wood plate and things
like that.

Support the position that fuel tank mounting bands do
not engage.
10. Remove fuel tank mounting bands.
11. Supporting with hands, descend transmission jack carefully, and remove fuel tank.
CAUTION:

Make sure that all connection points have been disconnected.

Confirm there is no interference with vehicle.
12. Remove fuel filler tube, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Note to the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Surely clamp fuel hoses and insert hose to the length below.

Be sure hose clamp is not placed on swelled area of fuel tube.

Tighten fuel hose clamp so that the distance between its lugs becomes to the following.

Before fixing fuel tank, temporarily install fuel filler tube.
CAUTION:
Use genuine fuel filler tube mounting bolts or equivalent. Make sure to tighten them to the speci-
fied torque.

To connect quick connector, refer to FL-7, "Quick Connector" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped), and check connections for leakage by applying fuel pres-
sure to fuel piping.
2. Start engine and rev it up and make sure there are no fuel leaks at the fuel system tube and hose connec-
tions.
