WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following. GI
I Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in workshop.
I Be sure to furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher. MA
I Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from work area.
CAUTION:
I Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures: EM
a) Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely.
b) Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-54, “Fuel Pressure Release”. LC
c) Disconnect battery ground cable.
I Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
I Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed. EC
I Do not tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
I After installing tubes, run engine and check for fuel leaks at connections.
I Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used,
the MIL may come on.
I For inspection, refer to EC-42, “On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)”. CL

CAUTION:
I Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when GI
reassembling. If gasket remains on flange surface, scrape
off completely as shown at left.
I With engine running, check all tube connections for
MA
exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for unusual noises.
I Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting EM
insulators are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could result in excessive
SEF180A noise or vibration. LC
I Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been
dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a
hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one. EC
I Before installing a new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust sys-
tem threads using oxygen sensor thread cleaner tool,
J-43897-18 or J-43897-12, and apply anti-seize lubricant.
I Do not overtorque the oxygen sensor. Doing so may
cause damage to the oxygen sensor, resuiting in the MIL
coming on.
