• Q: How to remove the fuel tank on 2009 Toyota Avalon?

  A: Initializing some systems after negative battery cable disconnection is mandatory before commencing the fuel tank removal process that starts by both lowering fuel system pressure and terminating the battery power. The first step involves taking out the rear seat cushion assembly together with the rear floor service hole cover and separating the fuel pump tube sub-assembly. Start by draining the fuel then disconnect the fuel suction tube assembly with pump and gauge along with the fuel tank vent tube set plate. Uninstall the exhaust pipe assembly center followed by disconnection of parking brake cable assemblies No. 2 and No. 3 through the removal of their set bolts and nuts. The low center bolt at the fuel tank protector needs removal followed by disconnecting the fuel pump tube through tab pinching and claw lock release to pull it down while maintaining connector cleanliness. Pull out the fuel tube connector No. 1 after pinching its tube connector while maintaining a clean area around the connector. You must place the transmission jack under the fuel tank and then detach the 2 set bolts which secure the fuel tank bands so you can take off the hose clamp to disconnect the fuel tank filter pipe hose and finally separate the fuel tank vent hose from the charcoal canister through connector deep locking pin engagement and pinching portion A before removing the connector. End the procedure by taking out the fuel tank and both pins and fuel tank bands and their associated 4 clip nuts.
