Fuel tank is difficult to fill up.

 

This concern may be caused by improper operation of the non-return valve in the fuel tank (temporarily stuck open).

The production process of the fuel tank has been improved to eliminate this concern.

 

REPAIR PROCEDURE

1. Verify that there are no restrictions of evaporative emission system hoses.
   • If there is a restriction, this Service Information is not applicable.
   • If there is no restriction, go to next step.
2. Replace the fuel tank with a modified one. Refer to MS3 online instructions or Workshop Manual section 01-14.
3. Verify repair by filling the fuel tank and making sure that the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically when tank is full.
