2012 Acura TL BaseSECTION With SH-AWD

The fuel line/quick-connect fittings (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) connect the fuel joint hose (H) to the fuel feed hose (I), the fuel feed hose to the fuel line (J), the fuel line (K) to the fuel tank unit (L), the fuel vapor line (M) to the EVAP canister (N), the fuel vent tube (O) to the fuel vent tube B (P) and the fuel tank vapor recirculation tube (Q) and fuel fill neck tube (R) to the fuel fill pipe (S). When removing or installing the fuel feed hose, the fuel tank unit, or the fuel tank, or when disconnecting or connecting the quick-connect fittings, pay attention to the following:

  • The fuel feed hoses, the fuel line, the and quick-connect fittings are not heat-resistant; be careful not to damage them during welding or other heat-generating procedures.
  • The fuel feed hoses, the fuel line, the and quick-connect fittings are not acid-proof; do not touch them with a shop towel that was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace them if they come in contact with electrolyte or something similar.
  • When connecting or disconnecting the fuel feed hoses, the fuel line, the and quick-connect fittings, be careful not to bend or twist them excessively. Replace them if they are damaged.
