FUEL SYSTEM
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration.
If necessary, repair or replace faulty parts.
SMA803A
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following:
● Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in workshop.
● Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from work area.
● Be sure to furnish the workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
CAUTION:
● Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
– Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put lid on securely.
– Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-58, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QG18DE
(except Calif. CA Model)], EC-623, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QG18DE (Calif. CA Model)], EC-
1255, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (QR25DE).
– Disconnect the battery ground cable.
● Always replace O-ring with new ones.
● Do not kink or twist hose and tube while installing.
● Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
● After installation, run engine and check for fuel leaks at connections.
● Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used,
the MIL may come on.
● For inspection and installation of EVAP system parts, refer to EC-33, "System Diagram" [QG18DE
(except Calif. CA Model)], EC-607, "System Diagram" [QG18DE (Calif. CA Model)], EC-1234, "Sys-
tem Diagram" (QR25DE).
● For inspection and installation of ORVR system parts, refer to EC-33, "System Diagram" [QG18DE
(except Calif. CA Model)], EC-607, "System Diagram" [QG18DE (Calif. CA Model)], EC-1234, "Sys-
tem Diagram" (QR25DE).
