CAUTION: Install the packing to the fuel tank, and then install the fuel pump module to the fuel tank. Installing the packing to the fuel pump module will damage the packing lip when installing the fuel pump module to the fuel tank, and fuel leakage will occur.
Check that the fuel tank is not damaged or deformed, and then securely install the packing to the fuel tank.
NOTE: If the packing is damaged or deformed, replace with new packing.
CAUTION:
- Do not tilt the fuel pump module when installing.
