2 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
3 Identify the fuel hose locations, as an aid to refitting. Note that there are three hose connections on models without a fuel flow sensor unit, and two hose connections on models with a fuel flow sensor unit.
4 Disconnect and plug the fuel hoses.
5 Remove the two securing screws and withdraw the regulator.
Refitting

that the fuel hoses are correctly connected. If
the hoses were originally secured with
crimped type clips, discard them and use new
worm drive clips.
