WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: When replacing the fuel line parts, observe the following:

Place a "CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE" sign in the workshop.
Do not smoke while servicing the fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
Have a CO₂ fire extinguisher in the workshop.

CAUTION:

Before removing the fuel line parts, use the following procedures:
- Store the drained fuel in an explosion-proof container and put the lid on securely.
- Release the fuel pressure from the fuel system. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE " (QG18DE), "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE " (QR25DE).
- Disconnect the battery ground cable.
Always replace the O-ring seals with new ones.
Do not kink or twist any of the hoses and tubes during removal and installation.
Do not over tighten the hose clamps to avoid damaging the hoses.
After installation, run the engine and check for fuel leaks at the connections.
Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the MIL may come on.
