The vehicle's fuel system consists of a fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injection system.
The fuel tank, made of plastic, is located under the bottom at the rear of the car. The fuel tank is ventilated through a closed air removal system. When the fuel tank is ventilated, fuel vapors are captured by a canister with charcoal.
Warning: Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive, so care must be taken when working on any part of the fuel system.
Warning: Work on the fuel system must be carried out in a well-ventilated area, for which you can open all windows and doors to create a draft.
Warning: When working on the fuel system, do not use open flames, electric welding or tools that may create sparks. Make sure that a charged fire extinguisher is in the immediate vicinity of the work area.
Warning: Use goggles to protect your eyes from fuel splashes. If fuel splashes on your skin, rinse the area with plenty of water.
Warning: The container containing the fuel contains fuel vapor and is potentially explosive.
Warning: When working on the fuel system, keep it clean, as dirt that gets into the fuel system passages can block them, which will prevent the engine from operating properly.
Warning: Front wheel drive diesel vehicles do not have a fuel pump in the fuel tank. All wheel drive diesel vehicles have a fuel pump in the fuel tank.
Before removing the fuel tank, pump out the fuel from the tank.
Remove the fuel tank from underneath the vehicle. Use a jack to support the fuel tank.
Even an empty fuel tank contains fuel vapors that are explosive, so use caution.
After installing the fuel tank, start the engine and check the fuel system for leaks.
