PRECAUTION
PRECAUTIONS
General Precautions INFOID:0000000003801915

WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
• Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.
• Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO 2 fire extinguisher.
• Never smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:
• Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-34, "Fuel". C
• Before removing fuel line parts, perform out the following procedures:
- Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area. D
- Release fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-356, "Inspection" [MR20DE (TYPE 1)] or EC648,
"Inspection" [MR20DE(TYPE 2)], EC-1064, "Inspection" [VQ25DE, VQ35DE (TYPE 1)] or EC-1426,
"Inspection" [VQ25DE, VQ35DE(TYPE 2)].
E
- Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
• Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
• Never kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
F
• Never tighten hose clamps excessively to avoid damaging hoses.
• After installing tubes, check there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
- Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then check
for fuel leakage at connections. G
- Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leakage 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. H
• For servicing “Evaporative Emission System” parts, refer to EC-67, "System Diagram" [MR20DE
(TYPE 1)] or EC-415, "System Diagram" [MR20DE(TYPE 2)], EC-723, "System Diagram" [VQ25DE,
VQ35DE (TYPE 1)] or EC-1139, "System Diagram" [VQ25DE, VQ35DE (TYPE 2)]. I

WARNING:
Read “General Precautions” when working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-3, "General Precautions".
REMOVAL
1. Check fuel level on fuel gauge. If fuel gauge indicates more than
the level as shown in the figure (full or almost full), drain fuel
from fuel tank until fuel gauge indicates level as shown in the
figure or below.
NOTE:
Because fuel will be spilled when removing fuel level sensor
units for the top of the fuel is above the fuel level sensor units
installation surface.
• As a guide, fuel level becomes the position as shown in
thefigure or below when approximately 10 (2-1/4 Imp gal)

of fuel are drained from fuel tank.
• In a case that fuel pump does not operate, perform the follow-ing procedure.
a. Insert hose of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter into fuel filler tube through fuel filler opening to draw
fuel from fuel filler tube.
b. Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler tube. Refer to FL-10, "Exploded View". C
c. Insert hose into fuel tank through fuel filler hose to draw fuel from fuel tank.
2. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-356, "Inspection" [MR20DE (TYPE 1)] or EC648,
