REMOVAL PROCEDURE
CAUTION: In order to Reduce the Risk of Fire and Personal Injury:
-
If nylon fuel pipes are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, Do Not attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes.
Replace them.
-
When installing new fuel pipes, Do Not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips as it may damage the nylon pipes resulting in a
possible fuel leak.
-
Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never expose the vehicle to temperatures higher
than 115°C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.
-
Before connecting fuel pipe fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends. This will ensure proper
reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may
prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.)
NOTE: Do not attempt to straighten any kinked nylon fuel lines. Replace any kinked nylon fuel feed or return pipes in order to prevent damage to the
vehicle.
1. Remove the fuel tank.
2. Remove the fuel pipe attaching hardware.
IMPORTANT: Note the position of the fuel attaching hardware for installation.
3. Disconnect the fuel pipes from the fuel sender.
4. Remove the fuel feed and fuel return pipes from the fuel tank.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
CAUTION: In order to Reduce the Risk of Fire and Personal Injury: If nylon fuel pipes are nicked, scratched or damaged during
installation, they must be replaced.
