PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
General Precautions
INFOID:0000000003793245

WARNING: When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following. Put a CAUTION: FLAMMABLE sign in the workshop. Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher. Never smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area. CAUTION: Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-29, "Fuel". Before removing fuel line parts, perform out the following procedures: - Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in safe area. - Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-411, "Inspection". - Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal. Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones. Never kink or twist tubes when they are being installed. Never tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses. After installing tubes, check there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps. - Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leakage at connections. - Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leakage at connections. Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the MI may come on. For servicing Evaporative Emission System parts, refer to EC-76, "System Diagram".

Removal and Installation

INFOID:0000000003793251

WARNING: Read General Precautions when working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-2, "General Precautions".

REMOVAL
1. Check fuel level on fuel gauge. If fuel gauge indicates more than the level as shown in the figure (full or almost full), drain fuel from fuel tank until fuel gauge indicates level as shown in the figure or below. NOTE: Because fuel will be spilled when removing fuel level sensor units for the top of the fuel is above the fuel level sensor units installation surface. As a guide, fuel level becomes the position as shown in the figure or below when approximately 10 (2-1/4 Imp gal) of fuel are drained from fuel tank. JPBIA2224ZZ In a case that fuel pump does not operate, perform the following procedure. Insert hose of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter into fuel filler tube through fuel filler opening to draw fuel from fuel filler tube.

Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-411, "Inspection". 3. Open fuel filler lid. 4. Open filler cap and release the pressure inside fuel tank. 5. Remove rear seat cushion. Refer to SE-98, "Exploded View" (WITH VENTILATION SEAT) or SE-140, "Exploded View" (WITHOUT VENTILATION SEAT). 6. Peel off floor carpet, then remove inspection hole cover units by turning clips clockwise by 90 degrees.

Never use any tools to disconnected quick connector. Keep resin tube (C) away from heat. Be especially careful when welding near the resin tube. Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte, etc. from getting on resin tube. Never bend or twist resin tube during installation and disconnection. Never remove the remaining retainer (2) on hard tube (or the equivalent) (A) except when resin tube or retainer is replaced. When resin tube or hard tube (or the equivalent) is replaced, also replace retainer with new one. Retainer color : White
