Withdrawal
- Gasoline is explosive, so when working with fuel system components, ensure that the workplace is well ventilated, do not use fire, sparking devices, open flammable lights and do not smoke.
- Before removing the fuel tank, drain the fuel from it. Clean the fuel tank of fuel vapors.
- Remove the cap from the fuel filler neck of 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 splashing, cover the fuel system disconnection point with a clean rag and, being careful, smoothly disconnect the pipelines.
3. Disconnect the wire «masses» 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. Turn away self-locking nuts and remove tapes of fastening of a fuel tank.
9. Remove the fuel tank.
Warning! Close all openings in the fuel tank to prevent fuel vapor from escaping from the tank.
Warning! Even in an empty fuel tank, there are fuel vapors that are explosive, so be careful. Keep the workplace well ventilated, do not use fire, sparks, open flammable lights and do not smoke. Clean the fuel tank of fuel vapors as soon as possible.
Examination
1. Check hoses and pipes for cracks, kinks, deformations, aging and blockages.
2. Check the operation of the fuel 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 of the fuel tank for dirt.
5. Check the fuel filter for clogging or damage.
6. Check the operation of the overflow limiter (two-way valve).
7. Check the operation of the two-way valve by blowing 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 by sliding it about 40 mm.
3. When connecting the filler hose, it is necessary to connect the end with a shorter straight pipe to the side of the fuel tank.
4. Connect the EVAP hose and return hose. Attach the fuel supply hose as shown in the illustration.
5. To connect the pressure hose to the fuel pump, temporarily tighten the flare nuts by hand, then tighten them to the recommended torque specification. When tightening the nuts, be careful not to bend or twist the tube and damage the fuel pump.
6. Connect the electric fuel pump connector.
