Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Precaution
The fuel line/quick-connect fittings connect the fuel rail (A) to the fuel feed joint (K), the fuel feed joint (K) to the fuel feed hose (B) the fuel hose (B) to the fuel line (C), the fuel feed hose (D) to the fuel tank unit (E), the fuel line (F) to the fuel feed hose (G), the EVAP purge pipe (H) to EVAP purge hose (I), and the EVAP purge hose (I) to the EVAP canister (J). When removing or installing the fuel feed hose, fuel tank unit or fuel tank, it is necessary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to the following:
- The fuel feed hoses, fuel line, 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, fuel line, 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 came into contact with electrolyte or something similar.
- When connecting or disconnecting the fuel feed hoses, fuel line, and quick-connect fittings, be careful not to bend or twist them excessively. Replace them if they are damaged.
