Inside The Engine Compartment: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- If the quick release connector O-ring is damaged or has slipped, replace the fuel hose.
- A checker tab is integrated with the quick release connector for all of the new fuel hoses and evaporator hoses except for the fuel suction pipe. The checker tab will be released from the quick release connector after it is completely engaged with the fuel pipe.
- Inspect the fuel hose and fuel pipe sealing surface for damage and deformation.
- If there is any malfunction, replace a new part.
- Apply a small amount of clean engine oil to the sealing surface of the fuel pipe.
- Reconnect the fuel hose straight to the fuel pipe until a click is heard.NOTE:
- If the quick release connector does not move at all, disconnect it and verify that the O-ring is not damaged or has not slipped, then reconnect the quick release connector.
- Lightly pull and push the quick release connector a few times by hand and verify that it can move (2-3 mm {0.08-0.12 in}) and it is connected securely.
- Inspect all parts by performing the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE .)
