Fuel Line Coupler: Service and Repair
PRECAUTIONS
^
Lighting of Fires Prohibited.
^
Keep flames away from your work area to prevent the inflammable from catching fire.
^
Disconnect the battery negative cable to prevent shorting during work.
^
When welding or conducting other heat-generating work on other parts, be sure to provide pretreatment to protect the piping system from thermal
damage or spattering.
CAUTIONS DURING WORK
Do not expose the assembly to battery electrolyte or do not wipe the assembly with a cloth used to wipe off spilt battery electrolyte.
Piping wet with battery electrolyte cannot be used. Be careful not to give a bending or twisting force to the piping during the work. If deformed,
replace with new piping.
REMOVAL
1. Open the fuel cap to relieve the fuel pressure in the tank.
^
If the fuel quick-connect fittings are dusty, clean with an air blower, etc. and then remove it.
^
As some pressure may remain in the piping, cover the connector with a cloth, etc. to prevent the splashing of fuel in the first disconnection of
the piping.
2. For removal of the delivery pipe (feeding fuel to the engine), hold the connector in one hand, and hold the retainer tab with the other hand and pull
out the connector, as illustrated. The pipe can be removed with the retainer attached.
3. For removal of the return pipe (returning fuel to the tank), hold the pipe in one hand, and pull out the connector with the other hand while pressing
the square relieve button of the retainer, as illustrated.
