• Q: How to install the fuel tank assembly on 2010 Scion tC?

  A: A transmission jack enables fuel tank assembly installation when it is placed on the jack before operating it to set the tank's position inside the vehicle. Use 4 bolts to fasten the two fuel tank bands while torquing them up to 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf). Attach the fuel tank to the filler pipe hose while securing the hose clamp in position with proper orientation of its mark. Insert the fuel hose protector before connecting the fuel tank breather tube by placing its connector onto the pipe until a "click" sound verifies proper connection. Inspection should reveal no scratches on the connection points or foreign objects in the area. Moreover, check the connection safety by gently pulling both the fuel tube connector and pipe. Complete the fuel tank main tube connection method according to the same procedure while verifying the secure attachment. Reassemble the rear suspension brace lower RH using 2 bolts that require a torque setting of 63.5 Nm (645 kgf-cm, 47 ft-lbf). Afterward, add the rear suspension brace lower LH with 3 bolts possessing the same tightened amount. The canister receives installation alongside the No 1 fuel tank protector protected with 5 bolts at 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) torque as well as the center exhaust pipe assembly. Add fuel to the system before you put in the fuel suction element along with the pump and gauge tubes, finish the procedure with the rear floor service hole cover installation. After connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal the system needs initialization because particular systems demand this step after reconnecting the battery. The final step involves inspecting for fuel leakage before installing the rear seat cushion.
