Nissan 17202-3AN0D Fuel Tank

The following procedure is much easier to perform if the fuel tank is empty. Drain the fuel into an approved fuel container using a commercially available siphoning kit (NEVER start the siphoning action by mouth) or wait until the fuel tank is nearly empty, if possible. Remove the fuel tank filler cap to relieve fuel tank pressure. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Disconnect the lines and wiring from the fuel pump module at the top of the fuel tank. If desired, the fuel pump module can be removed at this time. Raise the vehicle and place it securely on jackstands. If there is still fuel in the tank, siphon it out from the fuel feed line. Remove the rear section of the exhaust system. Also remove the heat shields. Disconnect the hoses and electrical connector from the fuel tank. Disconnect the parking brake cables from their brackets. Move the cables aside and secure them in place with wire. Remove the fuel tank shield (if applicable). Loosen the fuel filler hose clamp and remove the fuel filler hose from the fuel tank. Disconnect the vent hose, located at the rear or side, from the fuel tank. Support the fuel tank with a floor jack. Position a wood block between the jack head and the fuel tank to protect the tank. Remove the fuel tank strap bolts. Remove the tank from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal. Reconnect the battery and perform the necessary re-learn procedures.
