FUEL TANK REMOVAL

(1)Perform fuel system pressure release.

(2)Drain fuel tank. Refer to Draining Fuel Tank in this section.

(3)Remove fuel filler tube to quarter panel screws (Fig. 3).

(4)Raise vehicle on hoist. Some models will require removal of the right rear wheel to access the fuel filler tube.

WARNING: WRAP SHOP TOWELS AROUND HOSES TO CATCH ANY GASOLINE SPILLAGE.

(5)Disconnect fuel pump and gauge sending unit electrical connectors.

(6)Disconnect the fuel supply and return hoses from fuel pump. Refer to Quick Connect Hoses in the Fuel Delivery section of this group.

(7)Support tank with transmission jack. Loosen tank mounting straps and lower tank slightly. Remove hose from pressure relief/rollover valve.

(8)Carefully work fuel filler tube from tank.

(9)Remove tank mounting straps and lower tank.

INSTALLATION

(1)Position fuel tank on transmission jack. Connect vapor separator/rollover valve hose and position insulator pad on fuel tank. Position vapor vent so that it is not pinched between tank and floor pan during installation.

(2)Raise tank and fuel filler tube carefully into position. Use a light coating of power steering fluid to ease fuel filler tube installation. Ensure filler tube grommet is not damaged. Verify that the tube is installed correctly.

(3)Tighten fuel tank strap nuts to 23 NIm (250 in. lbs.) torque. Remove transmission jack. Ensure straps are not twisted or bent.

(4)Lubricate the metal tubes on the fuel pump with clean 30 weight engine oil. Install the quick connect fuel fittings. Refer to Tube/Fitting Assembly in the Fuel Delivery section of this Group.

(5)Lower the vehicle.

(6)Attach filler tube to filler neck opening in quarter panel. Tighten quarter panel screws to 2 NIm (17 in. lbs.) torque.

(7)Fill fuel tank, install filler cap, and connect battery cable.

CAUTION: When using the ASD Fuel System Test, the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay remains energized for either 7 minutes, until the test is stopped, or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position.

(8) Use the DRB II tester ASD Fuel System Test to pressurize the fuel system. Check for leaks.

FUEL PUMP

Refer to the Fuel Delivery section for fuel pump service.

FUEL RESERVOIR

The fuel reservoir is internal to the fuel pump assembly. The purpose is to provide fuel at the fuel pump intake during all driving conditions, especially when low fuel levels are present.
