9. CAUTION! USE A NON METALLIC
HAMMER OR DRIFT to remove the
lock ring by tapping the ring counter-
clockwise. Do not use a metallic hammer
and/or drift as a spark may result and
ignite a fire.
10. After rotating the lock ring counter-
clockwise, remove the lock ring.
11. Pull the module out of the tank carefully,
so the fuel level float will not catch on the
edge of the opening. On 2004 and later
vehicles inside the fuel tank, there will be
two or more fuel and vapor connectors
attached to the underside of the
module. Squeeze and pull as before to
disconnect these. Once the fuel module
is removed from the tank, the white
plastic “can” of the fuel module will still
contain about one quart (1 liter) of fuel.
Carefully tilt the module “can” so you can
pour this excess fuel back into the tank.
12. After removing the module from the
tank, use a shop towel to cover the
tank opening to prevent any debris from
entering.
