Removal Procedure
Caution: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the
following items:
• Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged
during installation, do not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel
pipes • Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing
new fuel pipes. Damage to the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak. • Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a
torch near them. Also, never expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than
115°C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more than 90°C (194°F)
for any extended period. • Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before
connecting fuel pipe fittings. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent
a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the
female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.)
Notice: Do Not attempt to repair the EVAP pipes or the connecting hoses. Replace the damaged EVAP pipes or the connecting hoses are damaged. If the nylon EVAP pipe becomes kinked and cannot be straightened, it must be replaced.
Notice: Properly secure the EVAP pipe in order to prevent chafing of the pipe.
- Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to the Fuel Pressure Relief .
- Drain the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Draining .
- Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Remove the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Replacement .
- Remove the hardware retaining the EVAP pipes.
- Note the location of the retaining hardware for installation.
- Remove the EVAP pipes (2) at the EVAP canister (1).
- Remove the EVAP pipe(s) (3) at the fuel tank (4).
- Remove the EVAP pipe(s).
Installation Procedure
Notice: Always re-attach the fuel lines and fuel filter with all original type fasteners and hardware.
Do not repair sections of fuel pipes.Important: Route the replacement EVAP pipe in the same manner as the original pipe was routed.
- Install the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Replacement .
- Install the EVAP pipes (3) to the tank (4).
- Connect the EVAP pipes (2) to the EVAP canister (1). Refer to Metal Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .
- Add fuel to the fuel tank.
- Reinstall the fuel tank filler pipe cap.
- Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
- Inspect for leaks.
- Install the fuel injector sight shield (1) to the engine.
- Install the fuel injector sight shield nuts (2).
Notice: Properly secure the EVAP pipe in order to prevent chafing of the pipe.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
| 7.1. | Turn ON the ignition for 2 seconds. |
| 7.2. | Turn OFF the ignition for 10 seconds. |
| 7.3. | Turn ON the ignition. |
| 7.4. | Check for fuel leaks. |
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
