Checking Fuel Line and Fuel Filter
CAUTION
• Be sure to stop the engine and remove the key when
attempting to make the following checks and changes.
• Never fail to check the fuel lines periodically. The fuel lines
are subject to wear and aging. Fuel may leak out onto the
running engine, and causing a fire.
The fuel line connections should be checked annually or every
100 service hours, whichever comes first.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and raise the cargo bed.
2. The fuel line is made of rubber and ages regardless of service
period.
3. If the fuel line and clamps are found to be damaged or
deteriorated, replace them.
4. Remove the under guard.
5. Check fuel filter, if it is clogged by debris or contaminated with
water, replace it.
6. Install the under guard.
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. In
addition, particular care must be taken not to admit dust
and dirt into the fuel pump. Entrance of even a small
amount of dust or dirt causes premature wear and
malfunction of the fuel pump and injector components.
