INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
A. CAP INSTALLATION
Use the special tool to install the cap.

INSPECTION





FUEL CUT OFF VALVE CHECK
If the sound of the float valve moving (knocking sound) can be heard when the valve assembly is gently shaken up and down, then the valve is okay.
FUEL GAUGE UNIT CHECK
Refer to Combination Meter.





FUEL GAUGE UNIT AND PUMP ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT






(1) Remove the rear seat cushion. (Refer to Seat.)
(2) Remove the protector.
(3) Bleed the residual pressure from inside the fuel pipe line to prevent the fuel from spraying out.
(Refer to On-vehicle Service.)
(4) Disconnect the hose and connector connections, and then remove the fuel gauge unit and pump assembly or the fuel gauge unit and pipe assembly.
(5) Check to be sure that the fuel tank packing is not damaged or deformed, and then securely install the packing.
NOTE: If the packing is damaged or deformed, replace with new packing.
(6) Apply soapy water to the inside of the packing, and then install the fuel gauge unit and pump assembly or the fuel gauge unit and pipe assembly.
Caution: Do not tilt the fuel gauge unit and pump assembly or the fuel gauge unit and pipe assembly when installing.





(7) After applying soapy water to the outside thread of the fuel tank, install the cap and use the special tool to tighten it to the specified torque.





Caution: The packing should be installed as shown in the illustration.
(8) Check for leaks from the installation section of the fuel gauge unit and pump assembly or the fuel gauge unit and pipe assembly by the following procedure.
1. Apply soapy water to the circumference of the cap.
2. Choke the vapor hose and main hose, apply an internal pressure of 10 kPa (1.5 psi) or less from the return hose and check to be sure that no bubbles form in the soapy water.
