After Repair Procedure

WARNING: Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. When installing the fuel hose, observe "Fuel Hose Installation" and "Fuel Leakage Inspection" described below.

Fuel Hose Installation

1. Replace damaged or deformed fuel hoses, fuel pipes, and hose clamps.




2. When installing the fuel hose onto the fuel pipe, fit the hose onto the pipe over 25 mm {1.00 in}. When the pipe has a stopper, fit the hose until it contacts the stopper.




3. Install a hose clamp over the fuel hose within the clamp installation range as shown, avoiding the original clamp position.




4. When installing two clamps, their tabs must be positioned more than 45° (desired 180°) apart.

Fuel Leakage Inspection

WARNING: Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Always carry out the following procedure with the engine stopped.

CAUTION: Connecting to the wrong DLC terminals may cause a malfunction. Carefully connect only to the specified terminals.




1. Short the DLC terminals F/P and body GND using a jumper wire.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON to operate the fuel pump.
3. Pressurize the system this way for at least 5 min to be sure of no leakage.
- If there is fuel leakage, inspect for damaged fuel hoses, hose clamps, and fuel pipe sealing surface and replace if necessary.

4. After repair, assemble the system and repeat Steps 1 to 3.
