17. REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER

NOTICE:

Before performing these procedures, first cover the connectors and tube joints of the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly with vinyl tape and then clean away any mud or other substances that may be adhering in order to prevent foreign matter from contaminating the fuel system.

(a) Place paint marks on the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly and vehicle body as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:

  • The fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly has 2 protrusions that engage with 2 notches on the fuel tank assembly to ensure correct alignment and to prevent the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly from turning during installation and removal of the fuel pump gauge retainer.
  • If the fuel pump gauge retainer is turned with the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly misaligned, the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly will turn with the fuel pump gauge retainer and may be damaged.
  • The paint marks are used to ensure that the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly does not turn with the fuel pump gauge retainer.
