• Q: How to install the fuel tank assembly on 2009 Scion tC?

  A: You should place the fuel tank assembly on a transmission jack before using the jack to position it into the vehicle. Lay two fuel tank bands across the fuel tank and fix them using four bolts torqued to 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Securely install the fuel tank filler pipe hose while positioning the hose clamp mark at the right angle. Put the fuel hose protector in place and join the fuel tank breather tube by lining up the connector with the pipe before providing pressure until you hear the snap of connection. first ensure that no scratches or any unnecessary materials exist near the connection area before verifying the secure attachment by pulling on both the pipe and connector of the fuel tube. Securely connect the main fuel tank tube by applying the same procedure. The rear suspension brace lower RH requires installation through 2 bolts which must be torqued to 63.5 Nm (645 kgf-cm, 47 ft-lbf) while the rear suspension brace lower LH needs installation using 3 bolts tightened to 63.5 Nm (645 kgf-cm, 47 ft-lbf). The assembly procedure includes using 5 bolts to attach the canister assembly and No. 1 fuel tank protector while torquing them to 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) alongside the center exhaust pipe assembly. The process begins with adding fuel followed by installation of the fuel suction tools with pump and gauge tube assembly while putting on the rear floor service hole cover. The initialization process should be performed following negative battery terminal connection due to system requirements. A fuel leak inspection must be followed by rear seat cushion assembly installation.
