Check Fuel Line & Fuel Filter
WARNING
Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key. Check the
fuel lines periodically. The fuel lines are subject to wear
and old fuel may leak onto a running engine which may
cause a fire.
The fuel line connections should be checked annually or every
100 service hours whichever comes first. The fuel line is made of
rubber and wears regardless of service period.
IMPORTANT! When the fuel line is disconnected for
maintenance or repair, close both ends of the fuel line with
a piece of clean cloth or paper to prevent dust and dirt from
entering. Particular care must be taken not to allow dust and dirt
into the fuel pump entrance. Even a small amount of dust or dirt
can cause premature wear and the malfunction of the fuel pump
and injector components.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and remove the engine
access panel. There is a primary fuel filter on the gas tank and
an in-line fuel filter between the gas tank and the engine.
2. If the fuel line and clamps are damaged or deteriorated,
replace them.
3. There are two main lines (a) coming into the primary fuel
filter (b) and one vent line (c) leading to the carbon canister
(Figure 42).
