fuel tank removal SUZUKI GRAND VITARA 2001 2.G Owners Manual

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-31
INSPECTION
1) Connect battery positive (+) cable to terminal “b” and battery
negative (–) cable to terminal “c” as shown.
2) Using ohmmeter, check continuity between terminal “a” and
terminal “b” at specified temperature as shown.
Rear A/C evaporator temperature controller specification :
“A” : Approximately 3.5 °C (38.3 °F)
“B” : Approximately 5.0 °C (41 °F)
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install rear A/C evaporator temper-
ature controller noting the following instruction.
When the rear A/C evaporator thermistor (temperature sen-
sor) removed, it should be reinstalled in original position.
Refrigerant Pipes and Hoses
INSPECTION
Use a leak tester to check hoses and pipes for any gas leakage.
Check each hose or pipe clamp for tightness. Retighten or replace loose clamp as required, if any.
REMOVAL
1) Recover refrigerant by using recovery and recycling equipment. Be sure to follow the instruction manual for
the equipment.
The amount of compressor oil removed must be measured and the same amount must be added to the sys-
tem when reinstalling.
2) Replace defective hose or pipe.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install refrigerant line noting the following instruction.
Evacuate and charge system. Refer to “EVACUATING” and “CHARGING” in this section.
CAUTION:
As soon as the above hose or pipe is disconnected, cap its opened fitting to prevent moisture and
dust from entering.
NOTE:
Remove EVAP canister and fuel tank cover, if necessary

ENGINE MECHANICAL (H27 ENGINE) 6A2-3
REMOVAL
1) Release fuel pressure in fuel feed line by referring to Section
6.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Drain coolant.
4) Remove strut tower bar (2).
5) Disconnect coupler from intake air temp. sensor, and MAF
sensor.
6) Remove surge tank cover (1).
7) Remove air cleaner upper case, intake air hose, intake air
pipe (1) and surge tank pipe (2) as one component. Do not
disassemble them, when removing and reinstalling. CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
drain plug and radiator cap while engine and radiator are

Fuel Tank
REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line referring to Section 6
or Section 6-1.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
3) Before disconnecting fuel filler hose, give match marks on
fuel filler hose and fuel filler neck.
4) Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler neck.
5) Insert hose of a hand operated pump into fuel filler hose and
drain fuel in space “A” in the figure (drain fuel through it till
fuel stops).
6) Remove fuel tank filler hose protector.
Disconnect filler hose from fuel tank and breather hose from
fuel filler neck.
7) Remove fuel tank inlet valve. Use care not to damage inlet
valve when removing.
8) Drain fuel tank by pumping fuel out through fuel tank filler.
Use hand operated pump device to drain fuel tank.
9) Disconnect fuel filter inlet hose from filter.CAUTION:
This work must not be done when engine is hot. If done
so, it may cause adverse effect to catalyst.
CAUTION:
Do not force hose of a hand operated pump into fuel
tank. Doing so can damage inlet valve.

ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SEQUENTIAL MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION FOR H27 ENGINE) 6E2-25
REMOVAL
Remove fuel tank from body according to procedure described in
Section 6C and remove fuel pump from fuel tank.
INSPECTION
Check fuel pump filter for evidence of dirt and contamination. If
present, clean and check for presence of dirt in fuel tank.
INSTALLATION
Install fuel pump to fuel tank and then install fuel tank to body
according to procedure described in “Section 6C”.
Fuel pressure regulator
REMOVAL
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line referring to “FUEL
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE” in Section 6-1.
2) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery.
3) Disconnect vacuum hose (1) from fuel pressure regulator.
