Fuel Tank: Removal

  1. Press the two tabs under the rear seat and raise the seat, then remove the inspection panel of the fuel pump.
  2. To reduce the internal pressure of the fuel lines and hoses, first start the engine with the fuel pump disconnected and wait until it stops by itself.
    NOTE: Be sure to reduce the fuel pressure before disconnecting the fuel main pipe and hose. Otherwise fuel will spill out.
  3. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
  4. Disconnect the high pressure hose from the fuel filter output side, and disconnect the tab for static electricity.
    CAUTION: Cover the hose connection with a shop towel to prevent splashing of fuel that could be caused by residual pressure in the fuel line.
  5. Lift up the vehicle
  6. Detach the fuel filler hose and leveling hose.
  7. Support the fuel tank with a jack.
  8. Remove the fuel tank bands.
