g. Take the electric fuel pump assembly out of fuel tank.

7. Drain the fuel in the electric fuel pump assembly.

Installation

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION

 Operate carefully when pulling the electric fuel pump assembly out of fuel tank, preventing damaging 

lines, wire harnesses and fuel level sensor.

 To keep fuel tank portion clean, cover it completely with a plastic bag or equivalent to prevent foreign 

matter from entering.

 The electric fuel pump assembly can be put into a container and taken out of the cabin, thus preventing 

fuel in the pump from dropping into the cabin.

CAUTION

 Cover electric fuel pump assembly completely with a plastic bag or equivalent to prevent foreign matter 

from entering.

 It is not allowed to perform running test for electric fuel pump assembly under dry or water condition. 

Otherwise it will reduce its service life. In addition, DO NOT connect battery positive and negative poles 
inversely.

CAUTION

 DO NOT connect the negative battery cable during installation. Work area should be in good ventilation 

and keep fire sources or open flames away.

 To avoid damaging electric fuel pump assembly, align electric fuel pump assembly with installation 

position of fuel tank and DO NOT run the electric fuel pump assembly without fuel in fuel tank.

 Before connecting hose, check if there is any damage or foreign matter on hose or joint.
 During installation, push in fuel pipe connector until a click sound is heard, then check that fuel pipe joint 

clip is on the collar of fuel pipe joint. After installing the pipe joint clip, check that fuel pipe joint cannot be 
pulled out. Be careful not to damage the joint. If the clip is damaged, replace it.

 Turn ignition switch ON (without starting engine) to apply fuel pressure to fuel supply system, and then 

check connections for leakage.

Removal

1. Turn off all the electrical equipment and ignition switch.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the C-pillar lower right protector assembly (

See page 49-23

).

4. Remove the fuel filler door assembly.

a. Open the fuel filler door, turn the fuel tank cap in the 

direction of arrow as shown in the illustration.

b. Remove the fuel tank cap assembly (1) from fuel filler 

door hinge assembly.

c. Remove the fuel filler door outer cover plate (2) from 

fuel filler door hinge assembly in the direction of arrow 
as shown in the illustration.

WARNING

 Before operating fuel supply system, please touch vehicle body to discharge static electricity; failure to 

do so will cause a fire, even result in an explosion.

 When operating fuel supply system, work area should be in good ventilation and keep fire sources or 

open flames away from the work area, in which the fire extinguisher should be equipped.

 If fuel leakage occurs when operating fuel supply system, please handle the leaked fuel in time.

CAUTION

 Be sure to wear necessary safety equipment when repairing to prevent accidents.
 Try to prevent body paint surface from being scratched during removal and installation.
