Removal Procedure
Caution: Do not allow smoking or the use of open flames in the area where work on the
fuel or EVAP system is taking place. Anytime work is being done on the
fuel system, disconnect the negative battery cable, except for those tests where battery
voltage is required.
Notice: Fuel/Vapor lines cannot be spliced or repaired. The line must be replaced (if
damaged) with the same type of line.
- Remove the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Removal.
- Once the fuel tank has been removed, disconnect the damaged fuel lines.
Installation Procedure
Notice: Replace plastic fuel line retainers whenever the fuel supply or return line
is disconnected at the fuel rail. Install the new retainer into the female cavity
of the connection. Care must be taken to ensure that the locking tab is centered in
the window of the female cavity. Firmly press the female connection onto the male
end until a click is heard, then pull back to confirm engagement. Pinched, kinked,
or damaged fuel lines must be replaced.
- Make sure the lines are not kinked, bent, or damaged.

- Clip the fuel and vapor hoses in place.
