NOTICE:

Before installing the injector, apply spindle oil or gasoline on any place where delivery pipe or lower intake manifold contacts the O-ring of the injector.

4. FUEL SYSTEM

(a) When disconnecting the high pressure fuel line, a large amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe these procedures.

(1) Discharge the fuel system pressure.

(2) Remove the charcoal canister protector (See page ).

(3) Disconnect the fuel tank main tube (See page ).

(4) Drain the fuel remaining inside the fuel tank main tube.

(5) Protect the contact surface by covering it with a plastic bag.

Push

(1) Check that there are no scratches or foreign objects on the connecting part.

(2) Line up the pipe and connector and push them together until a "click" sound is heard.

HINT:

If the pipe is difficult to push into the connector, apply a small amount of clean engine oil to the tip of the pipe and reinsert it.

(3) After connecting the pipes, check that the pipe and connector are securely connected by pulling on them.

(b) When replacing the fuel filter, replace it together with the fuel suction plate sub-assembly.

6. INSPECT FOR FUEL LEAK

(a) Check that there is no fuel leakage after performing maintenance anywhere on the fuel system (See page ).
