Fuel System

FUEL SYSTEM





1. When disconnecting the high pressure fuel line, a large amount of gasoline will spill out, so observe these procedures:
- Put a container under the connection.
- Slowly loosen the connection.
- Disconnect the connection.
- Plug the connection with a rubber plug.





2. When connecting the flare nut or union bolt on the high pressure pipe union, observe these procedures:

Union Bolt Type:
- Always use a new gasket.
- Tighten the union bolt by hand.
- Tighten the union bolt to the specified torque.

Torque: 30 N.m (300 Kgf.cm 22 ft.lbf)





Flare Nut Type:
- Apply a light coat of engine oil to the flare and tighten the flare nut by hand.
- Using SST. tighten the flare nut to the specified torque.
SST 09631-22020

Torque:
Fuel pump side: 24 N.m (240 Kgf.cm, 17 ft.lbf)
Others: 30 N.m (310 Kgf.cm, 22 ft.lbf)

HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).





3. Observe these precautions when removing and installing the injectors.
- Never reuse the O-ring.
- When placing a new O-ring on the injector, take care not to damage it in any way.
- Coat a new O-ring with spindle oil or gasoline before installing-never use engine. gear or brake oil.





4. Install the injector to the delivery pipe and intake manifold as shown in the illustration.





5. Check that there are no fuel leaks after doing maintenance anywhere on the fuel system.
- Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Turn ignition switch ON and TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch ON.
- Select the active test mode on the TOYOTA hand- held tester.

Please refer to the TOYOTA hand - held tester operator's manual for further details.

- If you have no TOYOTA hand-held tester, connect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump connector.

(See step 2 in fuel pump inspection)





- Pinch the fuel return hose. The pressure in the high pressure line will rise to approx. 392 kPa (4kgf/cm2, 57 psi).
- In this state, check to see that there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system.

NOTICE: Always pinch the hose. Avoid bending as it may cause the hose to crack.

- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Remove the TOYOTA hand-held tester.
