Nissan Micra Fuel Tank Exploded Diagram - Fuel System Parts & Torque Specs FE-3

This page, labeled FE-3 from a factory service manual's Fuel System section, provides safety warnings and an exploded parts diagram of the fuel tank assembly. The warning section lists precautions for replacing fuel line parts: posting a "CAUTION: INFLAMMABLE" sign, furnishing the workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher, disconnecting the battery ground cable before work, and storing drained fuel in an explosion-proof lidded container. Additional service notes advise against unnecessary fuel line disconnection, plugging hose and pipe openings against dust/dirt, replacing O-rings and clamps with new ones, avoiding kinking or twisting hoses, not over-tightening hose clamps, observing the fuel check valve's designated direction (refer to section EC), and checking for leaks with the engine running. The exploded diagram (figure SFE849) identifies the lock plate, fuel tank gauge unit, fuel tank, O-ring, fuel outlet tube, evaporation tube, fuel return tube, protector, fuel filler cap, fuel filler tube, vent hose, fuel filler hose, and fuel check valve. Two torque specifications are given: 3.1–4.3 N·m (0.32–0.44 kg-m, 2.3–3.2 ft-lb) for the gauge unit area fasteners, and 26.7–36.1 N·m (2.72–3.68 kg-m, 19.7–26.6 ft-lb) for the tank mounting. Torque units are stated as N·m (kg-m, ft-lb).
