Warning: Gasoline is highly flammable. Take special care when working on the fuel system. Work in a well ventilated area - open all windows and doors to create an exhaust hood. Do not smoke or allow naked flames or incandescent lamps without protective covers near the work area. Please note that the fuel used in household appliances (heaters, boilers, dehumidifiers), also poses a risk. Keep this in mind when working near such equipment. Near the working area, it is always necessary to have a fire extinguisher suitable for extinguishing burning oil products, and before starting work, you must read the instructions for its use. Protect your eyes when working on the fuel system (goggles, visor, etc.), If fuel comes into contact with skin, wash immediately with soap and water. Please note that fuel vapors are just as dangerous as liquid fuels.
1. The fuel filter is installed in the front right corner of the fuel tank just before the fine jacking on the right rear. The filter is a very important component as it prevents foreign particles and dirt from entering the fuel system. Therefore, it must be replaced in accordance with the maintenance schedule, or if you suspect that it is clogged.
2. Before servicing the filter, it is recommended to flush the area adjacent to it to make it easier for you to work and to prevent dirt from entering the fuel system.
3. The fuel system is under overpressure for a long time after the engine is stopped, therefore, before disconnecting any pipeline, it is necessary to reduce the pressure in the system to atmospheric as follows.
4. With the ignition off, find fuse No. 14 in the fuse box located in the engine compartment (fuel pump) and take it out.
5. Start the engine. If it does not start, spin it with the starter for a few seconds.
6. If the engine starts, let it idle until it stalls. Try starting the engine again to make sure that all the pressure in the fuel system is released. Switch off the ignition.
Attention! Remember that the procedure described above only relieves pressure in the fuel system, while fuel remains in it. Therefore, take appropriate precautions when disconnecting fuel lines.
7. Disconnect the negative battery cable (take into account the information given in paragraph 1 of chapter 5B).
8. Raise the right rear edge of the vehicle and place it on a support.
9. Prepare rags to soak up spilled fuel and disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes from the filter. To do this, press the protrusions of the clamps on the sides of the connection and carefully pull the pipeline off the filter nozzle (see fig. 31.9). If the connections are color-coded, then the inlet and outlet pipelines cannot be mixed up. If both connections have the same color, then you will have to remember their location for subsequent correct installation.
10. Note the direction of the arrow and/or other markings on the filter indicating the direction of fuel flow, loosen the filter clamp screw and pull out the filter. Please note that the filter contains fuel. Be careful not to spill it and cause a fire hazard.
11. When installing, insert the filter into the clamp, observing the correct direction of the arrow, (see fig. 31.11).
12. Push each fitting onto the corresponding fitting, pushing until the retainers click into place in the groove (see fig. 31.12). Carefully tighten the clamp screw so that the filter cannot be moved. But do not overtighten it, so as not to damage the filter housing.
13. Install the fuel pump fuse and connect the negative battery cable. Then turn the ignition on and off five times to pressurize the system. Check for leaks around the filter fittings, then lower the vehicle to the ground and start the engine.
