WARNING:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” When working on fuel system. Refer to FL-14, "
General Precau-
tions" .
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Open fuel filler lid.
3. Open the filler cap and release the pressure inside the fuel tank.
4. Check fuel level on level place. If gauge indicates more than the
level shown in figure (full or almost full), drain fuel from fuel tank
until gauge indicates level shown in figure or below.
In case of fuel pump does not operate, take following procedure.
a. Insert fuel tube 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.
c. Insert fuel tube into fuel tank through fuel filler hose to draw fuel
from fuel tank.
●As a guide, fuel level becomes the position shown in figure or
below when approximately 15 liter (13-1/4 lmp qt) of fuel are drained from full tank.
NOTE:
Adjusting fuel level is to prevent fuel from spilling, when fuel level sensor unit is removed.

5. Remove rear seat bottom.
6. Peel off floor carpet, then remove inspection hole cover.
7. Disconnect the harness connector, fuel feed tube and fuel return
tube.
●Disconnect the quick connector of the fuel tube as follows.
NOTE:
●Hold the sides of the connector, push in tubs and pull out the
tube.
●If the connector and the tubs are stuck together, push and pull
several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them
by pulling.
CAUTION:
●The quick connector can be removed when the tabs are
completely depressed. Do not twist it more than neces-
sary.
●Do not use any tools to remove the quick connector.
●Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the tube.
●Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte etc. from
getting on the resin tube.
●Do not bend or twist the tube during installation and
removal.
●Do not remove the remaining retainer on tube or fuel level
sensor unit.
●When the tube or fuel level sensor unit is replaced, also
replace the retainer with a new one.

●To keep clean the connecting portion and to avoid dam-
age and foreign materials, cover them completely with
plastic bags or something similar.
8. Using a fuel tank lock ring wrench, remove the lock ring.
9. Remove main fuel level sensor unit and sub fuel level sensor
unit.
CAUTION:
●Do not bend the float arm during removal.
●Avoid impacts such as falling when handling compo-
nents.
Removal of main fuel level sensor unit:
●Raise the fuel level sensor unit, and remove the jet pump.
●Leave the jet pump on the fuel tank with the fuel hose.
●If necessary, remove the chamber from the bottom of the fuel
tank.
●Remove the chamber by sliding toward the rear of the vehicle.
Removal of sub fuel level sensor unit:
●Raise and release the sub fuel level sensor unit to remove.
●If necessary, remove the jet pump inlet from the bottom of the fuel tank.
To remove it, pinch the tabs (2 places).
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Make sure the fuel pump strainer is free from foreign materials, If any are found, remove them.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal paying attention to the follow-
ing.
●When installing the chamber and jet pump, insert them fully until
a click sound of full stopper engagement is heard (for jet pump
inlet).
●Connect the quick connector as follows.
1. Check the connection for damage and foreign materials.
2. Align the connector with the tube, then insert the connector
straight into the tube until a click is heard.
3. After connecting, make sure that the connection is secure by fol-
lowing the steps below.

●Visually confirm that the two retainer tabs are connected to the connector.
●Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely connected.
●Install fuel level sensor unit with mating mark (triangular protrusion) facing between two carved lines on
fuel tank. (Figure shows left side of fuel tank.)
NOTE:
On right side of fuel tank, there are three carved lines on fuel tank. Set mating mark between two outer
carved lines.
●Install the inspection hole cover with the front mark (arrow)
facing front of the vehicle (Both for RH and LH).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel
leaks at connections.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.
