2009 Toyota Avalon Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the fuel tank assembly and related components on 2009 Toyota Avalon?

  A: Begin fuel tank assembly installation by adding 4 clip nuts after which you can add the 2 pin-equipped fuel tank bands. Connect the fuel tank vent hose along with the fuel tank inlet pipe using the fuel filter pipe clamp followed by tightening the 2 set bolts on the fuel tank bands to 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). After connecting Fuel Tube Number 1 by inserting the connector into the pipe until a "click" sound indicates proper pairing the technician should verify the connection by attempting to separate the components. Use the fuel pump tube connector to push it into place until the retainer claws engage. Then check for damage as well as a secure connection. The fuel tank protector lower center requires installation torque of 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf). Begin with parking brake cable assembly No. 3 installation using a bolt tightened to 6.0 Nm (61 kgf-cm, 53 in-lbf) then proceed to attach the nut to 8.5 Nm (87 kgf-cm, 75 in-lbf) before completing the installation with parking brake cable assembly No. 2 at the same torque values. Attach the exhaust pipe assembly center, alongside the fuel suction tube assembly joined to the pump and gauge with the fuel tank vent tube set plate. After connecting the fuel pump tube sub-assembly the system requires fuel addition prior to connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal but system initialization might be necessary after the process. Inspection for fuel and exhaust gas leaks should be followed by installation of rear floor service hole cover along with the rear seat cushion assembly.
