The fuel pump & tostalled in front of the fuel tank. The electronic fuel injection system requires high fuel pressure in the fuel tine ‘Thus, pay close attention to the fel Line. The fuel tank is equipped with a thermistor for fuel warning. When the tuel level drops below 10 liters (1O%U.S. gt., 8% lmper. qt.) the thermistor is activated and the warning lamp goes on. A large capacity fuel strainer is also Installed midway in the fuel line in the engine compartiment. For evaporative emission control, a reservoir tank and a carbon canister ave also equipped. The reservoir tank is located at the righthand rear quarter and the carbon canister in the engine compartment For fuel pump, fuel damper and fuel strainer, refer to Section EF.

When it becomes necessary (0 replace any of these parts, heat shield plates should be installed before the replacement part is installed on te car body. When installing the heat shield plate, care should be taken to instal it ih its proper position. If the heat shield plate is not properly installed, the relative position of body parts cannot be properly aligned after the exhaust system has been Installed. ‘All non-California $30 models must also be checked for clearance between exhaust system components and body parts after installation of the exhaust system, Installing heat shield plates 1.
