Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fittings Precaution
The fuel tube/quick-connect fittings connect the fuel rail
(A) to fuel feed hose (8), the fuel feed hose (8) to the
fuel line (C), and the fuel tube (D) to the fuel pump
assembly (E). When removing or installing the fuel feed
hose, fuel pump assembly, or fuel tank, it is necessary
to disconnect or connect the quick-connect fittings.
Pay attention to the following:
• The fuel feed hose (8), fuel tube (D), and quick-
connect fittings (F) are not heat-resistant; be careful
not to damage them during welding or other heat-
generating procedures.
• The fuel feed hose (8), fuel tube (D) and quick-
connect fittings (F) are not acid-proof; do not touch
them with a shop towel which was used for wiping
battery electrolyte. Replace them if they came into
contact with electrolyte or something similar.
• When connecting or disconnecting the fuel feed hose
(8), fuel tube (D), and quick-connect fittings (F), be
careful not to bend or twist them excessively. Replace
them it they are damaged.
