• Q: How to replace the fuel tank assembly on 2006 Toyota Camry?

  A: The process of fuel tank assembly replacement starting in July 2003 requires you to first perform fuel system pressure discharge followed by back seat cushion assembly and the rear floor service hole cover removal. You should disconnect the fuel pump tube sub-assembly before you remove the fuel tank vent tube set plate to separate the fuel suction tube assembly with pump and gauge. The procedure begins with draining fuel before removing the rear floor panel brace and center exhaust pipe assembly through the removal of 2 bolts and 4 nuts then extracting the exhaust pipe and its accompanying 2 gaskets. Unplug the set bolts and nuts along with the parking brake cable assembly for numbers 2 and 3. Begin by disconnecting the fuel pump tube and then remove the 4 bolts of the lower center fuel tank protector and finally separate the fuel tank assembly while pinching the retainers tab to unlock the lock claws before pulling down without using tools or bending the nylon tube. The procedure starts by setting up a transmission jack below the fuel tank followed by removing the 2 set bolts from the fuel tank bands and disconnecting the fuel tank to filler pipe hose and the fuel tank vent hose from the charcoal canister through connector push and locking pin release. The service starts by taking out the fuel tank and afterward removing its 2 pins and 2 fuel tank bands then finishing with the 4 clip nut removal. Begin the repair procedure by removing both the fuel tank vent hose and the combined parts consisting of fuel pump tube sub-assembly and fuel main tube support. The technician should install 7 new fuel tank cushions after reinstalling the fuel main tube support with 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) torque while also reinstalling the fuel pump tube sub-assembly and fuel tank vent hose. Reposition the fuel tank assembly by tightening the 4 clip nuts and the 2 fuel tank bands with 2 pins while connecting the fuel tank vent hose along with the fuel tank inlet pipe featuring the fuel filler pipe clamp. Finally, torque the set bolts of the fuel tank bands to 39 N.m (400 kgf.cm, 29 ft.lbf). First establish a proper connection for the fuel tube No. 1 by pressing its end until it activates the click mechanism and verify it contains no foreign matter or damage then proceed with the fuel pump tube connection by pressing its connector to secure the lock position. Add the lower center fuel tank protector with 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) torque and then fasten parking brake cables No. 3 and No. 2 at 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf). The center exhaust pipe assembly should be reinstalled using two new gaskets and two bolts and four new nuts tightened at 56 N.m (571 kgf.cm, 41 ft.lbf). The end of the installation process includes attaching the fuel suction tube assembly with pump and gauge as well as the fuel tank vent tube set plate followed by connecting the fuel pump tube sub-assembly then checking for leaks before reinstalling the rear floor service hole cover and rear seat cushion assembly and the rear floor panel brace.
