Warning
-
• Fuel is highly flammable and dangerous. Fuel line spills and leakage can cause serious injury or death, and damage to equipment. If fuel comes into contact with the skin and eyes it will cause irritation. To prevent this, always perform the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure” referring to the “BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE”.
• A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before servicing the fuel system, make sure to discharge static electricity by touching a vehicle.
-
Caution
-
• If parts are exposed to the fuel, their function may be decreased or a fire may occur. Spread a rag to absorb any leaked fuel.
• If fuel does not pass through the fuel filter, it could cause a fuel system malfunction. Therefore, do not install the fuel hoses (main and return side) in reverse. Always refer to the “AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION” before installing the fuel hose, and execute the “Fuel Hose Installation Procedure”.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

Caution
-
• Performing cranking continuously for 30 s or more may cause damage to the battery and starter. To prevent this, if the engine does not start after performing cranking (approx. 10 s), wait for 10 s before cranking it again.
7. Crank the engine until it starts.
-
• Because the engine stops 20 s to 30 s after the engine starts when replacing the fuel filter with a new one, perform cranking again.
-
― If the engine starts, the procedure is completed.
― If the engine starts, the procedure is completed.If the engine does not start, perform the “Fuel Line Air Bleed and Fuel Hose Installation Procedures” referring to the “AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTIONS”. (See
AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-D 1.5].)
-
Note
-
• If the fuel filter is replaced with a new one, air will penetrate the fuel system because the fuel is syphoned through the filter paper in the filter. As a result, fuel is not supplied normally, and even if the engine starts, it will stop afterwards. In this case, cranking the engine several times (approx. 10 s intervals) will restore normal fuel supply and the engine can be started.
-
• If the fuel filter is not replaced with a new one, verify that the engine does not stop.
-
― If the engine does not stop, the procedure is completed.
