CAUTION

 Cover both ends of fuel filter with plastic bags or equivalent to prevent foreign matter from entering.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

 Removed fuel filter should be handled by the specialized department according to local laws and 

regulations. Never discard it at will.

CAUTION

 Before connecting hose, check if there is any damage or foreign matter on the hose or joint.
 When installing, push in fuel pipe joint clip until a click sound is heard from coupling joint, then check that 

fuel pipe joint clip is on the collar of fuel pipe joint. After installing 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.

Electric Fuel Pump Assembly

On-vehicle Inspection

1. Check electric fuel pump assembly fuel level sensor.

a. Using a flat tip screwdriver, pry up electric fuel pump 

assembly protective cap, and disconnect electric fuel 
pump assembly connector.

b. Using a digital multimeter, measure resistance of fuel 

level sensor based on the fuel volume in fuel tank.

If result is not as specified, replace the fuel level sensor.

2. Check electric fuel pump assembly operation.

a. Using a flat tip screwdriver, pry up electric fuel pump assembly protective cap.
b. Apply battery voltage to terminals 3 and 4. Check if electric fuel pump assembly operates in 10 

seconds.
HINT:

 These tests must be finished within 10 seconds to 

prevent coils from being burnt.

 Leave electric fuel pump assembly as far as 

possible from the battery.

 Always switch voltage on and off on battery side, 

rather than electric fuel pump assembly side.

If electric fuel pump assembly does not operate, 
replace it.

Removal

Disconnection way for all coupling joints in the following 
procedures is as shown in the illustration.

1. Release fuel system pressure (

See page 08-10

).

2. Turn off all the electrical equipment and ignition switch.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Open the fuel tank cap assembly and release fuel vapor from fuel tank.
5. Remove the rear right seat (

See page 46-25

).

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.

 After performing procedures for fuel system pressure release, there still remains some pressure in fuel 

line. When disconnecting fuel line, cover the joint with a piece of cloth or equivalent to prevent fuel from 
spraying out.

 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.
 Operation staff should wear protective glasses and rubber gloves and avoid inhaling much fuel gas.
 Only use parts approved by Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. to replace electric fuel pump assembly.
 As electric fuel pump assembly radiates through fuel, low fuel level in fuel tank will directly shorten the 

service life of electric fuel pump assembly.

 Keep electric fuel pump assembly and work area clean when replacing electric fuel pump assembly, 

otherwise the electric fuel pump assembly element will be clogged.

 DO NOT damage disconnected fuel system line or connectors. Cover line joints or connectors with 

plastic bags or equivalent, preventing foreign matter from entering.

 Keep fuel tank and line clean, and replace fuel filter assembly if electric fuel pump assembly has been 

replaced.

6. Remove the electric fuel pump assembly.

a. Using a flat tip screwdriver (1), pry up the electric fuel 

pump assembly protective cap (2).

b. Disconnect the electric fuel pump assembly connector 

(arrow).

c. Disconnect the coupling joint (1) between electric fuel 

pump assembly and inlet pipe I assembly.

d. Disconnect the coupling joint (2) between electric fuel 

pump assembly and inlet and return pipe assembly.

e. Using special tool (fuel tank pressure cap remover), 

remove the fuel tank pressure cap as shown in the 
illustration.



(Tightening torque: 75 ± 5 N·m)

f. Pull up the electric fuel pump assembly from fuel tank 

and disconnect the fuel level sensor connector 
(arrow).
