Attention:
- When working on the fuel tank or fuel lines, do not smoke or use open flames in the workplace.
- Be careful not to splash fuel when disconnecting the fuel connectors.
- Wear leak-resistant nitrile gloves and goggles with side protection when working.
- To prevent contaminants from entering the fuel system circuit, use plugs to plug the openings of the disconnected components.
- Measures must be taken to protect surfaces that may be exposed to escaping fuel to prevent corrosion or damage.

Fuel tank installation
Installation is made in an order, the return to removal.
Removal and installation of the fuel module (fuel level sensor unit with fuel pump)
Removing the fuel module
1. Using the diagnostic module, perform a pre-repair procedure by selecting "Injection computer" (injection control processor) And "Low pressure fuel pump" (low pressure fuel pump).
2. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
3. Remove the rear sofa cushion of the car.
4. Partially remove the rear door seals.
5. Remove the rear center mat.
6. Using the tools from the trim removal kit (Car. 1363) remove the plug from the service hole.
Note: Prepare for possible fuel leakage from the fuel supply and return lines.
7. Disconnect the electrical connector from the fuel module.
8. Disconnect the fuel line connectors from the fuel module.
9. With a master key (Mot. 1397) (1) unscrew the nut of the fuel module.
10. Remove the fuel module, being careful not to damage the float.
Caution: To avoid deformation of the fuel tank, the fuel module mounting nut must be reinstalled immediately.
Fuel module installation
1. Correctly place the gasket (7) in the neck.
2. Insert the fuel module into the tank. To ensure that only one installation position is possible, the module has a projection and a recess in the tank.
Note: Label (9) fuel mode, la should be opposite the mark (11) on the fuel tank.
3. Press the fuel module by hand (to prevent gasket displacement) and screw on the mounting nut.
4. With a master key (Mot. 1397) tighten the nut (8) before label alignment (10) on a nut with a mark (11) fuel tank.
5. Connect the fuel lines to the fuel module connectors.
6. Connect the fuel module electrical connector.
7. Install the plug in the service port of the fuel module.
8. Install the rear center mat.
9. Install door seals.
10. Install the rear sofa cushion.
11. Connect the battery.
Checking the fuel level sensor
1. Remove the fuel module (see above).
2. Make sure that with the change in the position of the float, the resistance value of the sensor changes.
