id0114q1800900

Warning

•  Fuel is very flammable liquid. If fuel spills or leaks from the pressurized fuel system, it will cause serious injury or death and facility breakage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure”, while referring to “BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION”.

•  A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before draining fuel, make sure to discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle body.

Caution

•  Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting using a cloth or soft brush, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.

1.  Complete the “BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-G 1.3, SKYACTIV-G 1.5].)

2.  If the fuel gauge level indicates 3/4 or more, refer to the “FUEL DRAINING PROCEDURE” and drain the fuel.

3.  Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

4.  Remove the rear seat cushion. (See REAR SEAT CUSHION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

5.  Remove the service hole cover.

Fuel pump cap removal note

Caution

•  The fuel pump cap could be damaged if the SST (wrench) is used with any gap between the cap and the SST (wrench). Securely attach the SST (wrench) so that there is no gap between the SST (wrench) tabs and the side of the cap.

1.  Remove the fuel pump cap using the SST (wrench).

Fuel pump cap installation note

Note

•  The fuel pump unit will rotate and cannot be secured in the specified position if there is any gasoline on the packing. Thoroughly wipe away all gasoline from the packing.

•  Make the markings to be easily visible when the fuel pump cap is installed.

•  Marks are provided on the fuel pump unit and fuel tank for correct installation of the fuel pump unit.

•  Tighten the fuel pump cap using a torque wrench to prevent fuel leakage.

1.  Mark the fuel pump cap and the fuel tank at the point where the threading of each part begins as shown in the figure.

Caution

•  The cap could be damaged if the SST (wrench) is used with any play between the cap and the SST (wrench). Securely install the SST (wrench) so that there is no gap between the SST (wrench) tabs and the side of the cap.

6.  Set the SST (wrench) as shown in the figure.

Note

•  The total rotation angle is 450—495 °if the approx. 180° from Step 5 is included.

7.  Using a torque wrench, tighten the fuel pump cap with both of the following specified rotation angle and specified torque met being careful not to shift the marks on the fuel pump unit and fuel tank.

Caution

•  To avoid exceeding the specified rotation angle due to excessive torque, tighten the fuel pump cap starting from the minimum value of 50 N·m {5.1 kgf·m, 37 ft·lbf} and gradually increase the tightening torque without exceeding the maximum value of 140 N·m {14 kgf·m, 103 ft·lbf}, and secure the specified rotation angle of 270—315°.

•  If the specified tightening torque cannot be obtained, replace the fuel pump cap and packing.

•  If the specified tightening torque cannot be obtained after replacement of the fuel pump cap and packing, replace the fuel tank.

Note

•  The total rotation angle is 450—495 ° if the approx.180 ° from Step 5 is included.
