Checking Fuel LineINFOID:0000000001722976
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionINFOID:0000000001722977
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
 Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the work area.
 Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and have a CO
2 fire extinguisher.
 Do not smoke while working on the fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work
area.
 Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
CAUTION:
 Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-45, "
Precaution for Fuel
(Unleaded Regular Gasoline Recommended)".
 Before removing fuel line parts, perform the following procedures:
- Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines if necessary. Refer to EC-379, "
Inspection" (HR16DE with
Euro-OBD), EC-681, "
Inspection" (HR16DE without Euro-OBD), EC-1035, "Inspection" (MR18DE).
- Disconnect the battery ground cable.
 Always replace O-rings and clamps with new ones.
 Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
 Perform work on level surface.
 Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
 After connecting fuel tube quick connectors, make sure quick connectors are secure.
Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any adjacent parts.
 After installing tubes, make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
- Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning ignition switch ON (without starting the engine). Then
check for fuel leaks at the fuel tube connections.
- Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.
 Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the
MIL may come on.
 For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to EC-379, "
Inspection" (HR16DE with
Euro-OBD), EC-683, "
Inspection" (HR16DE without Euro-OBD), EC-1037, "Inspection" (MR18DE).
