Fuel Tank: Removal

To reduce the internal pressure of the fuel main pipes and hose, first start the engine and then disconnect the electrical fuel pump connector in the rear seat side.
CAUTION: Be sure to reduce the fuel pressure before disconnecting the fuel main pipe and hose, otherwise fuel will spill out, leading to the risk of fire or explosion.
