Warning

•  Highly pressurized fuel may spray out if the fuel line is cut. Due to the following dangers occurring with a fuel spray, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure” to prevent the fuel from spraying.

―  Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes.

―  If fuel ignites and causes a fire, it may lead to serious injury or death, and damage to property and facilities.

•  A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before draining fuel, make sure to discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle body.

1.  Perform the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure” referring to the “BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

2.  Remove the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

3.  Remove the second-row seat (passenger side). (See SECOND-ROW SEAT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

4.  Remove the fuel gauge sender unit. (See FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [2WD].) (See FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [4WD].)

5.  Drain the fuel from the fuel tank to the position where the non-return valve is visible. (See FUEL DRAINING PROCEDURE [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)

Note

•  The non-return valve is built into the fuel tank.

•  The non-return valve is normally closed by spring force.

6.  Verify that the non-return valve is closed.

•  If the non-return valve is left open or cannot open even though the non-return valve is pulled up with your finger, replace the fuel tank. (See FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 2.2].)
