Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Precautions
The fuel line/quick-connect fittings (A, B, C, D, and E) connect the fuel feed hose (F) to fuel feed hose (G), fuel feed hose to the fuel feed line (H), the fuel feed hose (I) to the fuel tank unit (J), the fuel fill tube (K) and the fuel tank vapor recirculation tube (L) to the fuel fill pipe (M), the purge line (N) to the EVAP canister (O).
When removing or installing the fuel feed hose, the fuel tank unit, the fuel tank, or the fuel tank vapor recirculation tube, or when disconnecting or connecting the quick-connect fittings, pay attention to the following:
The fuel feed hose, the fuel line, and the quick-connect fittings are not heat-resistant; be careful not to damage them during welding or other heat-generating procedures.
The fuel feed hose, the fuel line, and the quick-connect fittings are not acid-proof; do not touch them with a shop towel that was used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace them if they came into contact with battery electrolyte or something similar.
When connecting or disconnecting the fuel feed hose, the fuel line, and quick-connect fittings, be careful not to bend or twist them excessively. Replace them it damaged.
