2. Disconnect "mass" battery wire.

CAUTION: Be sure the key is removed from the ignition before disconnecting the battery. If you forget to remove the key from the ignition, the computer will remember the readings of the fuel gauge before disconnecting the battery, and when you reconnect the battery, it will return the previous value.

3. Turn away 4 nuts and remove the right cover of a body for access to a fuel tank.

WARNING: Fuel vapors are highly flammable, and in an enclosed area they are also toxic and explosive. There must be a fire extinguisher in the room where fuel is removed from the fuel tank (foam, carbon dioxide, gas or powder).

4. Disconnect the connector from the fuel pump.


5. Prepare a suitable container for draining the remaining fuel.

WARNING: Fuel leakage is inevitable during this operation. Take safety precautions to prevent fire or explosion.

6. Having remembered an arrangement of fuel hoses, disconnect delivery and drain pipelines from the fuel pump.

CAUTION: Before disconnecting any system elements, make sure that the places immediately adjacent to the disconnected elements are free of dirt. Immediately after disconnection, close the open ends of the pipelines with plugs to prevent foreign particles from entering the system.

7. Tie together and lay aside the pipelines so as not to interfere with the removal of the fuel priming pump.



8. Working through the left inspection hole of the fuel tank, disconnect the coupling from the fuel priming pump. The coupling is made together with the electrical connector.

9. Clean the surface of the lock ring from dirt and dust.
