Removal and Installation NGFE0004

WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the follow-
ing:
쐌 Put a “CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE” sign in workshop.
쐌 Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open
flames and sparks away from work area.
쐌 Be sure to furnish the workshop with a CO2 fire extin-
guisher.
CAUTION:
쐌 Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following
procedures:
a) Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put
lid on securely.
b) Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-51
(KA24DE), EC-637 (VG33E), “Fuel Pressure Release”.
c) Disconnect battery ground cable.
쐌 Remove quick connectors with commercial service tool.
쐌 Always replace O-ring with a new one.
쐌 Do not kink or twist hoses and tubes when installed.
쐌 Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damag-
ing hoses.
쐌 Perform an inspection and installation of EVAP system
parts as necessary. Refer to EC-34 (KA24DE), EC-619
(VG33E), “Evaporative Emission System”.
쐌 For inspection and installation of ORVR system parts,
refertoEC-39(KA24DE),EC-625(VG33E),“On-BoardRefuel-
ing Vapor Recovery (ORVR)”.
쐌 After installation, run engine and check for fuel leaks at
connections.
쐌 Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replace-
ment. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the MIL may
come on.

CAUTION:
쐌 Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling. GI
쐌 With engine running, check all tube connections for exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for
unusual noises.
MA
쐌 Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting insulators are installed properly and free
from undue stress. Improper installation could result in excessive noise or vibration.
쐌 Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 EM
in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
쐌 Do not overtorque the oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to the oxygen sensor, result-
ing in the MIL coming on. LC
