IV. BACKGROUND
The subject vehicles are equipped with a low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine may run rough. This may result in a vehicle stall, and the vehicle may be unable to be restarted. If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash.
V. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION:
 When installing/uninstalling the fuel system components, keep safety first in mind and carefully observe the following instructions to avoid accidents:
a. When working on the fuel system, display a Flammable – Keep Fire Away sign.
b. Smoking is prohibited nearby.
c. Perform this work in an area where there are no sparks nearby from the operation of welders, grinders, drills, electric motors, stoves, etc.
d. DO NOT use electrical devices nearby because they can become hot and the operation of power switches can generate sparks.
e. DO NOT use iron or steel hammers while working, because they may generate sparks.
f. DO NOT start engines even in adjacent stalls.
g. Prepare fire extinguishers before starting any work.
h. Perform this work in a well-ventilated area (natural ventilation). DO NOT use exhaust fans or electric fans, because their motors might generate sparks.
i. Since it is possible for fuel vapor to build up, DO NOT work in or near a pit.
j. If fuel is spilled, use shop towels or similar material to quickly wipe it up and then use compressed air to diffuse the fuel vapor.
k. Shop towels and other materials that have come into contact with fuel should be dried in a well-ventilated area and then disposed of as appropriate.

VIII. DISASSEMBLE FUEL TUBE ASSEMBLY
DISASSEMBLY TIP: FOLLOW THE REPAIR MANUAL
The Part’s Kit contains the necessary O-Rings for reassembly, if the Repair Manual procedure is followed. If the pump components are disassembled in a manor other than as detailed in the Repair Manual, the Parts Kit may not contain the necessary O-Rings for proper reassembly. Please follow the procedures in the Repair Manual to ensure the correct O-Rings are available.
Example of Proper Disassembly:
Repair Manual: Using a screwdriver (*a) with its tip wrapped in protective tape, remove the jet pump from the No. 1 fuel sub-tank.
Tube still attached
Jet pump properly removed from
the No.1 fuel sub-tank.
Replacement O-Ring will be
installed in this location
Example of Incorrect Disassembly:
Tube incorrectly removed from jet pump
Replacement O-ring is the incorrect size
DO NOT disconnect the tube from the jet pump
Replacement O-Ring is NOT provided for this location
25
DISASSEMBLY TIP: MAIN VALVE AND REGULATOR
When replacing the fuel pump, it is not necessary to remove the Fuel Main Valve or Fuel Pressure Regulator. These O-Rings are NOT included in the parts kit.
DISASSEMBLY TIPS: FUEL FILTER
Many of the models will require the fuel filter to be reused. Be careful with the tabs when removing the filter from the original fuel pump as to not overextend them. When installing the filter on the NEW Fuel Pump, be sure that the clips have engaged properly.
