14 4 PL FUEL SYSTEM FUEL HOSES & LINES : The delivery and return lines are made of nylon pipes with quick fix couplings at joints. The vapour lines aremadeof rubber hoses andpipeswith clamps at joints. Removal : 1. Ref.Procedureasmentioned for‘removal of fuel tank’. 2. To avoid damage to the vapour hoses while disconnecting slide back the clamps then twist the lines as you pull. 3. Disconnect quick fix couplings by pressing the two tabs. Fig 16. Inspection : 1. Visually check all hoses and pipes connected via clamp/quick fix couplings for leaks, loose connections, deteriorationordamage, hosecracketc. Replace if necessary. 2. Make sure that all clamps are secure. 3. If the pipe clamps / quick fix couplings found deformed, bent or broken, replace with new one. Assembly : 1. Do not tighten the clamps used on breather hose / filler hose excessively to avoid damage to hoses. Use suitable tool for fitment of clamp. 2. Fuel hoses to fuel pipe connections varies for each type of pipe. Necessary care to be taken to connect and clamp each hose correctly. 3. Ensure that quick fix couplings are fittedproperlyon to pipe, filter,pump fittings. 4. Donot kinkor twist hose / pipewhen theyare routed. 5. Install fuel fillerhoseafter fuel tankhasbeenmounted in place on vehicle otherwise this may leads to leakage of fuel around hose connections. 6. Connect negative terminal at battery. 7. Turn ignition switch ON and run engine idle. Check for fuel leakages. Fig. 16
