1. Fuel tank
2. High-pressure fuel hose
3. Return hose
4. Fuel tank differential pressure sensor
5. Fuel pump assembly
6. Fuel gauge unit
7. Fuel cut-off valve assembly
8. Leveling valve assembly
9. Vapor hose
10. Fuel shut-off valve
11. Fuel tank filler tube protector
12. Pipe assembly
13. Filler hose
14. Fuel tank filler tube cap

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
Cap Installation
Use the special tool to tighten the cap to the specified torque so that the marks on the fuel tank and the fuel gauge unit and pump assembly (or the fuel gauge unit and pipe assembly) are aligned.

CAUTION: Make sure that the fuel gauge unit and pump assembly (or the fuel gauge unit and pipe assembly) does not turn together with the cap when tightening the cap. If the mating marks are not aligned, the position of the float will not be correct and the fuel gauge indicator light and fuel level gauge will not operate properly.
