Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to the Fuel Pressure Relief .
- Clean all the fuel pipe and hose connections and the surrounding areas before disconnecting in order to avoid possible contamination of the fuel system.
- Remove the fuel filler cap.
- Remove the fuel fill pipe shield.
- Remove the fuel fill hose clamps (1, 2).

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
Installation Procedure
- Uncap the fuel tank opening.
- Install the fuel fill hose to the fuel tank and the fuel fill pipe.
- Install the fuel fill hose clamps (1, 2).
- Install the fuel fill pipe shield.
- Install the fuel filler cap.

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.
Tighten
Tighten the fuel fill hose clamps to 2.5 N·m (22 lb in).
