Caution: Fuel Vapors can collect while servicing fuel system parts in enclosed
areas such as a trunk. To reduce the risk of fire and increased exposure to
vapors:
• Use forced air ventilation such as a fan set outside
of the trunk. • Plug or cap any fuel system openings in order to reduce fuel vapor
formation. • Clean up any spilled fuel immediately. • Avoid sparks and any source of ignition. • Use signs to alert others in the work area that fuel system work
is in process.
Notice: Clean all of the following areas before performing any disconnections
in order to avoid possible contamination in the system:
• The fuel pipe connections • The hose connections • The areas surrounding the connections
Important: For rear compartment (trunk) accessible fuel sender assemblies, completely remove the rear compartment carpet before removing the fuel sender access panel.
Important: Always replace the fuel sender O-rings when reinstalling the fuel sender assembly.
Important: The modular fuel sender assembly will spring-up when the snap ring is removed.
Important: Always maintain cleanliness when servicing fuel system components.
Notice: Always re-attach the fuel lines and fuel filter with all original type fasteners and hardware.
Do not repair sections of fuel pipes.Important: Care should be taken not to fold over or twist the fuel pump strainer when installing the fuel sender assembly, as this will restrict fuel flow. Also, assure that the fuel pump strainer does not block full travel of float arm.
Important: Ensure that the fuel sender assembly retaining snap ring is fully seated within the tab slots on the fuel tank.
9.1. | Turn ON the ignition for 2 seconds. |
9.2. | Turn OFF the ignition for 10 seconds. |
9.3. | Turn ON the ignition. |
9.4. | Inspect for fuel leaks. |
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
