When disconnecting the high fuel pressure line, a large amount of gasoline will spill out. Follow these procedures.

1. Discharge the fuel system pressure (see above procedure).
   

2. Put a container under the connection.
   

3. Disconnect the fuel pump tube.
   

4. Drain the fuel remaining inside the fuel pump tube.

Observe these precautions when removing and installing the injector.

1. Never reuse the O-rings.
   

2. When placing a new O-ring on the injector, take care not to damage it in any way.
   

3. Coat new O-rings with grease or gasoline before installing them. Never use engine, gear or brake oil.
   

Install the injector to the delivery pipe and cylinder head, as shown in the illustration. Before installing the injector, be sure to apply grease or gasoline on the place where the delivery pipe touches the O-ring of the injector.

Observe these precautions when disconnecting the fuel tube connector (quick type).

1. Fuel hose connector cover type:
   Detach the lock claw by lifting up the cover, as shown in the illustration.
   





2. Fuel pipe clamp type:
   Remove the fuel pipe clamp from the fuel tube connector.
   

3. Check for dirt or mud on the pipe and around the connector before disconnection. Clean if necessary.

2. Align the axis of the connector with the axis of the pipe. Push the pipe into the connector until the connector makes a "click" sound. If the connection is tight, apply a small amount of fresh engine oil on the tip of the pipe.
   





3. After having finished the connection, try to pull apart the pipe and the connector and confirm that they are securely connected.
   





4. Fuel pipe clamp type:
   Install the fuel pipe clamp to the connector.
   





5. Fuel hose connector cover type:
   Attach the lock claws to the connector by pushing down on the cover, as shown in the illustration.
   

Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing maintenance anywhere on the fuel system (Toyota Fortuner RM000000YL7009X.html).
