The fuel supply and return pipes run from the fuel tank to the engine compartment and are clipped to the underbody.
Steel tubes
Use only steel pipes to replace fuel system pipes.
If you loosen tubing connections, observe the following rules:
- 1. Be careful not to bend or pinch the tubes.
- 2. Replace o-rings.
Flexible hoses
Flexible hoses should not be close to the elements of the exhaust system.
Removal and installation
Installing the spring clip
1. Fuel pipe
2. 1-2 mm
3. Spring clip
4. Hose
5. 2-6mm
1. Release the pressure in the system.
2. Remove the clamps holding the tubes to the body.
3. In places where rubber hoses are connected to metal pipes, spring clamps are usually used (arrow). In order to remove such a clamp, it must be squeezed with pliers and moved up. Installation is carried out in the same way.
4. Sometimes quick-release clamps are used in connections (1 - clamp; 2 - paws).
Repair
All damaged tubes and hoses must be replaced with similar ones.
