Removal and installation (2WD models)
Warning: Repairing a fuel tank that has not been properly steam cleaned can be dangerous. A tank explosion or fire could result in serious injury or death.
1. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Unscrew and screw back the fuel filler cap.
3. Loosen 4 screws and remove the service cover (1). Disconnect the fuel pump connector (2).
4. Disconnect the quick-release coupling of the fuel pipes.
Removal and installation the fuel tank (2WD models). 1 - fuel filler cap, 2 - tube, 3 - air hose, 4 - fuel filler hose, 5 - fuel tank, 6 - fuel filler tube casing.
Removal and installation the fuel tank (4WD models). 1 - wire harness, 2 - fuel filler cap, 3 - service cap, 4 - connector, 5 - main fuel pump, 6 - auxiliary fuel pump, 7 - fuel tank, 8 - air hose, 9 - fuel filler hose, 10 - tube.
5. Using a special tool, unscrew the nut (B) of the fuel pump (A).
Tightening torque - 93 Nm
6. Remove the fuel pump.
7. Raise the car.
8. Remove the fuel filler tube cover.
9. Disconnect the hoses from the fuel tank.
10. Install the support device under the fuel tank.
11. Unscrew the tank mounting bolts.
Tightening torque - 38 Nm
12. Remove the fuel tank.
13. When assembling, the parts are installed in the reverse order.
