Similarly, we derive another parking brake cable from the two holders on the tank.
Under the bottom of the car, two tubes fit to the front of the fuel tank: 1 - a tube connected to the adsorber of the fuel vapor recovery system; 2 - a tube that connects to the fuel filter in the engine compartment.
By pressing the latch of the tip (gray) of the fuel supply pipe to the filter, disconnect the tip from the tube connected to the fitting of the fuel module cover.
Similarly, disconnect the tip (black) of the other tube from the tube connecting to the fuel tank.
Places of fastening of a fuel tank to the bottom of the car: 1 – bolts of back fastening; 2 – nuts of lateral fastening; 3 – a bolt of forward fastening.
We install an adjustable stop under the fuel tank, placing a wooden block so as not to damage the tank.
