Use petroleum jelly to lubricate the screw mating surface with the fuel tank unit. This is so that the screw does not turn the fuel tank unit when it is tightened.

Press down the right fuel sensor and pump so that the fuel line is pointing forward and to the right. Ensure that the arrow on the cover is between the markings on the tank .

Check that the O-ring does not deform.

Tighten the screw. Tighten to 60 Nm .
