Fuel siphoning procedure in joint hose

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

CAUTION:

If an excessive length of hose is inserted into the joint hose, the hose will push the non-return valve and the hose may enter the fuel tank. If the hose enters the fuel tank, the hose may get stuck on the non-return valve when the hose is pulled out and the non-return valve could be damaged. Do not insert the hose more than the specified length.

NOTE:

When removing the hose from the joint hose (fuel-filler pipe side), use a cloth to prevent fuel spatter.
Cut the tip of the hose diagonally so that it can be inserted into the joint hose smoothly.
When inserting the hose into the joint, the hose may get stuck. In such cases, rotate the hose so that the hose can be inserted easily.
The pump siphons all the fuel that leaked out of the non-return valve and was trapped in the joint hose, then it suctions the air. After siphoning the fuel, wait several seconds until the air is suctioned out, then resume siphoning.

Siphon the fuel in the joint hose.

Cut the tip of the hose diagonally and place a mark at the position of the specified hose insertion length.
