Removal
- Gasoline is explosive, so when working with fuel system components, ensure proper ventilation of the workplace, do not use fire, sparking devices, open fire-hazardous lighting devices, and do not smoke.
- Before removing the fuel tank, drain the fuel from it. Clean the fuel tank from fuel vapors.
- Remove the fuel filler cap from the fuel tank to equalize the pressure in the tank with atmospheric pressure.
1. Remove the rear seat cushion and disconnect the fuel pump connector.
2. Start the engine and let it run until it stops due to lack of fuel in the fuel distribution line. As a result of the actions taken, the pressure in the fuel system was relieved.
Warning: To prevent fuel from splashing, cover the fuel system disconnection point with a clean rag and carefully disconnect the lines smoothly.
3. Disconnect the ground wire from the battery.
4. Disconnect the upper pressure hose from the outlet side of the fuel filter and the static discharge wire.
5. Raise the car.
6. Disconnect the hose from the fuel filler neck and the fuel vapor pressure equalization hose.
7. Support the fuel tank with a jack.
8. Loosen the self-locking nuts and remove the fuel tank mounting straps.
9. Remove the fuel tank.
Warning! Close all open fuel tank openings to prevent fuel vapors from escaping from the tank.
Warning: Even an empty fuel tank contains fuel vapors that are explosive, so use caution. Ensure adequate ventilation of the workplace, do not use fire, sparking devices, open fire-hazardous lighting devices and do not smoke. Clean the fuel tank of fuel vapors as soon as possible.
Examination
1. Check hoses and pipes for cracks, kinks, deformation, aging and clogging.
2. Check the operation of the fuel tank filler cap.
3. Clean the tank and check it for signs of rust, damage and cracks. A damaged or corroded fuel tank must be replaced.
4. Check the inside surface of the fuel tank for contamination.
5. Check the fuel filter for clogging or damage.
6. Check the functionality of the overflow limiter (two-way valve).
7. Check the functionality of the two-way valve by blowing through it from both sides.
Installation
1. Install the fuel tank and secure it with straps.
2. Connect the compensating hose to the fuel tank filler neck, pushing it forward by approximately 40 mm.
3. When connecting the filler hose, it is necessary to connect the end with the shorter straight pipe to the left side of the fuel tank.
4. Connect the fuel vapor recovery system hose and return hose. Attach the fuel supply hose as shown in the figure.
5. To connect the pressure hose to the fuel pump, temporarily tighten the union nuts by hand, then tighten them to the torque recommended by the specification. When tightening the nuts, be careful not to bend or twist the tube and avoid damaging the fuel pump.
6. Connect the electric fuel pump connector.
