Removal Procedure
Caution: In order to Reduce the Risk of Fire and Personal Injury:
• If nylon fuel pipes are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation,
Do Not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes. Replace them. • When installing new fuel pipes, Do Not hammer directly on the
fuel harness body clips as it may damage the nylon pipes resulting in a possible
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. • Before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops
of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends. 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: Cap the fittings and plug the holes when servicing the fuel system in order to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the open pipes and passages.
Important: Always maintain cleanliness when servicing fuel system components.
- Remove the air cleaner intake duct. Refer to Air Cleaner Inlet Duct Replacement .
- Remove the brake master cylinder from the brake booster and reposition. Refer to Master Cylinder Replacement in Hydraulic Brakes.
- Relieve the fuel system fuel pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief .
- Disconnect the fuel feed pipe quick-connect fitting (1). Refer to Metal Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .
- Disconnect the evaporative emissions (EVAP) purge pipe quick-connect fitting (2). Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Disconnect the EVAP pipe quick-connect fitting (3) at the fuel filter area. Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .
- Remove the threaded nut fitting (1) from the outlet of the in-line fuel filter.
- Cap the in-line fuel filter as needed to stop any fuel leakage.
- Remove the fuel and the EVAP pipe clips from the pipes.
- Remove the fuel feed and the EVAP pipes from the vehicle.
- Inspect the pipes for bends, kinks and cracks.
Important: Use a back up wrench to prevent the fuel filter fitting from turning.
Important: Note the position of the fuel feed, the EVAP purge pipe and the attaching hardware for installation.
Installation Procedure
Caution: In order to Reduce the Risk of Fire and Personal Injury: If nylon fuel pipes are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, they must be replaced.
Notice: Always re-attach the fuel lines and fuel filter with all original type fasteners and hardware.
Do not repair sections of fuel pipes.Notice:
• Secure the fuel pipes to the frame in order to prevent chafing.
Maintain a minimum of 13 mm (½ inch) clearance around
a pipe in order to prevent contact and chafing. Maintain a minimum of 19 mm
(¾ inch) around any moving part. • Do not allow the fuel pipes to come into contact with the fuel
tank or underbody.
Important: If fuel line bundle attaching hardware is damaged or broken, replace the attaching hardware.
- Install the fuel feed and the EVAP pipes to the vehicle.
- Install the fuel and the EVAP pipe clips to the pipes as noted during removal.
- Connect the EVAP pipe quick-connect fitting (3) at the fuel filter area. Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .
- Remove the cap from the in-line fuel filter.
- Install the threaded nut fitting (1) to the outlet of the in-line fuel filter.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Connect the evaporative emissions (EVAP) purge pipe quick-connect fitting (2). Refer to Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .
- Connect the fuel feed pipe quick-connect fitting (1). Refer to Metal Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service .
- Inspect and ensure all of the fuel pipe bundle clips and fasteners are properly installed.
- Install the brake master cylinder to the brake booster. Refer to Master Cylinder Replacement in Hydraulic Brakes.
- Install the air cleaner intake duct. Refer to Air Cleaner Inlet Duct Replacement .
- Add fuel and Install the fuel tank filler pipe cap.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
- Inspect for 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.
Important: Use a back up wrench to prevent the fuel filter fitting from turning.
Tighten
Tighten the threaded nut fitting to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
