Fuel Line Coupler: Service and Repair

FUEL SYSTEM




a. Observe these precautions when connecting the fuel tube connector (quick type):
1. Do not reuse the retainer removed from the pipe.
2. Remove the retainer from the pipe by hand. Do not use any tools.
3. Check if there is any damage or foreign objects on the connected part of the pipe.




4. Match the axis of the connector with the axis of the pipe, and push in the connector until the retainer makes a "click" sound. In case that the connection is tight, apply a little amount of new engine oil onto the tip of the pipe.
5. After having finished the connection, check if the pipe and the connector are securely connected by pulling them.




6. Install the fuel pipe clamp to the connector.
7. Check if there is any fuel leak.




b. Observe these precautions when disconnecting the fuel tube connector (metallic type):

HINT: The structure of the metallic connector is shown as left.

1. Check that there is any dirt like mud in the pipe and around the connector before disconnecting them and remove the dirt if any.




2. Assemble SST to the connection as shown in the illustration.

SST 09268-21010




3. Turn the SST, align the retainers inside the connector with the SST chamfered parts and insert the SST into the connector.




4. While holding the SST, pull the connector towards the SST to put the retainers on the SST chamfered parts.
5. Slide the SST and the connector together towards the fuel tube assembly.
