opening the safety valve.
Insert the Fuel Draining Hose into the fuel tank filler pipe.
5. NOTE: This step will remove approximately one-eighth tank of fuel from a completely full fuel tank and the majority of any residual fuel from the
fuel tank filler pipe. Also the fuel in the fuel tank will be below the Fuel Pump (FP) module mounting flange for FP module removal without fuel
spillage.
Attach the Fuel Storage Tanker to the Fuel Draining Hose and remove approximately one-eighth tank of fuel (from a completely full tank),
lowering the fuel below the FP module mounting flange.
6. Remove the rear seat cushion.
7. Remove the FP module and fuel level sensor access covers and position aside.
8. NOTE: Clean the FP module connections, couplings, flange surfaces and the immediate surrounding area of any dirt or foreign material.
Disconnect the FP module electrical connector.
9. NOTE: Place absorbent pads in the general work area in case of fuel spillage.
Disconnect the rear fuel tube-to-FP module quick connect coupling.
10. NOTE: Carefully install the Fuel Tank Sender Unit Socket to avoid damaging the FP module when removing the lock ring.
Using the Fuel Tank Sender Unit Socket, remove and discard the FP module lock ring.
11. NOTICE: The Fuel Pump (FP) module must be handled carefully to avoid damage to the float arm.
Position the FP module aside. Using the Fuel Storage Tanker, completely drain the remaining fuel from the LH saddle of the fuel tank.
12. NOTE: Inspect the surfaces of the FP module flange and fuel tank O-ring seal contact surfaces. Do not polish or adjust the O-ring seal contact
area of the fuel tank flange or the fuel tank. Install a new FP module or fuel tank if the O-ring seal contact area is bent, scratched or corroded.
NOTE: To install, apply clean engine oil to the O-ring seal.
Remove and discard the FP module O-ring seal.
13. NOTE: Clean the fuel level sensor connections, flange surfaces and the immediate surrounding area of any dirt or foreign material.
Disconnect the fuel level sensor electrical connector.
14. NOTE: Carefully install the Fuel Tank Sender Unit Socket to avoid damaging the fuel level sensor when removing the lock ring.
Using the Fuel Tank Sender Unit Socket, remove and discard the fuel level sensor lock ring.
15. NOTICE: The fuel level sensor must be handled carefully to avoid damage to the float arm.
Carefully lift the fuel level sensor out of the fuel tank allowing access and disconnect the internal fuel tube-to-fuel level sensor quick connect
