NOTE: If the fuel tank is full, drain the fuel (see FUEL TANK DRAINING ).

Remove the fuel tank unit (see FUEL PUMP/FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

Check these items before installing the fuel tank unit:
- When connecting the wire harness, make sure the connection is secure and the connectors (B) are firmly locked into place.
- When installing the fuel gauge sending unit (C), make sure the connection is secure and the connector is firmly locked into place. Be careful not to bend or twist it excessively.
Install the parts in the reverse order of removal with a new base gasket (D) and a new O-ring (E).
