Fuel Tank/Lines/Filler Operation

Hoses
The hoses used on fuel injected models are of a special type and only hoses marked EFI/EFM may be used as replacements.



Fittings and Clamps
There are two ways that the fuel lines are attached to various fuel system components.

- The first way is with a rolled edge type clamp (the purpose of the rolled edge is to prevent the clamp from cutting the fuel hoses).

Quick Connect Fuel Fitting Assembly:

- The second type of fitting is called a Quick-Connect fuel fitting. These fittings consist of internal O-rings, a metal locking retainer, and a plastic release collar to disconnect the fitting from the fuel tube.

No-Lead Filler Tube
All catalyst equipped models have a special filler tube. The filler tube also contains a deflector to prevent the addition of fuel by other than an unleaded fuel nozzle. "Unleaded Fuel Only" Labels are attached at the instrument panel and near the fuel door, to remind the operator.

Pressure/Vacuum Filler Cap
The loss of liquid fuel or vapor is prevented by using a filler cap which releases under 10.9 to 13.45 kPa (1.58 to 1.95 psi). Only caps with these specifications may be used as replacements to maintain the integrity of the fuel system.
