Replacing gas tank clamps for Lada Kalina
I drove onto the overpass and was horrified when I looked under the car.
One gas tank clamp was completely rotten. On the right side, the gas tank fell off completely and was held on by one clamp.
Taking a metal brush, I thoroughly cleaned all the fastenings of the clamps and did not forget about the fuel filter bolt (I decided to change the fuel filter in one go), it is located on the right side of the gas tank. Taking a WD
and thoroughly sprayed all the clamp fastenings
After which, a ring wrench is set to 13 and...
Moved to the other side of the clamp. Having removed the brake cables from the hooks, reaching for the loop, taking a knife, I decided to bend the petals on both sides. But that was not the case, (the petals did not give in) everything was so rusty and besides, there was not enough space. Taking a hammer and a screwdriver, he began to stupidly knock out the cotter pin from different sides. Surprisingly, the cotter pin gave way, thereby straightening the petals.
Having bought new clamps
(300 rubles per pair) having greased the old plastic covers with grease, I began to assemble them in the reverse order. (Don’t forget to bend the petals back so that the cotter pin doesn’t fly out) All this work was done together. By tightening the tension bolt of the clamp, the gas tank itself was pressed tightly to the bottom of the car. (At the same time, using available means, 2 long sticks. One was placed across the overpass and the second was pressed, it turned out to be a lever)
The muffler was in the way on the left side, I had to unhook the muffler in three places and move the muffler to the side
Well, everything else is in the same spirit.
We made small sacrifices, without removing the gas tank and spending 2 hours of free time, 300 rubles, a WD wheel, and a 13 ring wrench.
This is what's left of the old clamps.

To complete the work you will need an assistant, as well as:
— inspection ditch or overpass;
— hose for pumping fuel.
You can do without an assistant. In this case, a height-adjustable stop or stand is required. If possible, use as much fuel as possible from the tank before performing work.
Removal
1. We prepare the car for work.
2. Relieve fuel pressure.
After the pressure is released, a small amount of fuel remains in the fuel line.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the clamp securing the fuel tank hose to the filler pipe and disconnect the hose from the pipe.
Location of Lada Kalina fuel filters
This element of the Lada Kalina is “hidden” under the bottom of the car next to the gas tank. To get to it, you will need to lift the car or drive into a viewing hole. The filter is clearly visible from below. Its location is to the right (in the direction of travel) of the gas tank.

The idea of creating and using such devices to protect your car is by no means new. On the Internet you can find many articles on this topic, although all the schemes used are similar. Before purchasing the Lada Kalina 2, the author had a VAZ 321074 car, where he had already installed a similar security system and it worked well. In order to create the same thing on a new car, he had to seek advice from more experienced potassium growers.
Materials:
- reed switch - magnet - rubber gasket - wire - connector from the computer power supply - electrical tape
Location of Kalina fuel filters
To replace filter elements on VAZ 1117-1119 series cars, you need to know where they are installed. The location of the parts is as follows:
- mesh bag - a trap for large particles is attached to the suction pipe of the gasoline pump, immersed in a tank of fuel;
A screen for catching large particles is located in the fuel tank along with the pump.
The fine cleaning element is hidden in a niche to the right of the tank
The location of the filter elements is the same for all modifications of Kalina and does not depend on the body type. That is, on the “station wagon” and “hatchback” you will find parts in the same places as on the “sedan”.

Lower the car, connect block b of the wiring harness to the electric fuel pump 1, Figure 1, install the hatch cover and lower the rear seat (a Phillips screwdriver). Connect the negative terminal to the battery (spanner 10).
Lamp selection
When choosing lamps, you can go in two ways:
- Install regular incandescent lamps, such as those installed by the manufacturer.
- Install LED lamps.
We recommend installing LED lamps, since their lifespan is longer than standard ones and you can also slightly reduce the load on the generator. Also keep in mind that LED lamps have pros and cons. If you install an LED lamp and it does not light, turn the socket with the lamp 180 degrees.
The instrument panel on Kalina uses a type of lamp with a W1.2W socket. In any auto store you can buy a socket with a lamp or a light bulb separately.

Purpose
A fuel pump is needed to pump gasoline or diesel fuel from the gas tank to the engine.
Alternative name: fuel pump, gasoline pump.
Signs of failure of the fuel pump VAZ KALINA sedan (1118)
You should not be surprised that this spare part or its individual components systematically break down. The fuel pump is a part that is constantly in operating mode. Here are some symptoms of a poorly functioning fuel pump.
- low engine power, which will definitely be felt by a driver who knows his car
- problematic engine starting
- high-pitched sound of a running engine
There are plenty of signs and causes of failure. All the symptoms listed above may indicate other problems with the car. Therefore, do not try to self-medicate, but contact a good car service station. Replacing a fuel pump is a responsible undertaking. And repairing fuel pumps - even more so. Therefore, if you have never installed a fuel pump, do not take risks.

Removing or replacing the fuel sensor on a VAZ-2110
To dismantle the fuel module and remove the FLS from it using a 17 wrench, unscrew the fittings of the fuel supply and return pipes. We take the tubes to the side.
Then, using a socket head No. 7, unscrew the nuts securing the clamping ring. Since the nuts are usually very tight and may be oxidized (rusted), WD-40 (or a similar product) is used, and their tightening can be loosened by light blows of a hammer on a non-sharp chisel or the handle of a flat-head screwdriver, the “tip” of which is placed on the edge of the nut.
Then, using a screwdriver, we remove the pressure ring from the hatch. We remove the module by carefully removing the FLS float from the hole in the gas tank, being careful not to bend the sensor lever. To do this, tilt the module slightly.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 2 screws securing the FLS to the fuel module. Disconnect the FLS wires from the module connectors. If this is difficult to do on an assembled module, then disassemble it: bend the clamps of the two tubular guides from the pump side (bottom of the module), and then separate the upper and lower parts of the module.
The removed FLS can be inspected and, in case of repairable faults, repaired and replaced, or immediately replaced. We install the FLS in the reverse order of dismantling. During assembly, it is recommended to apply petrol-resistant sealant to the pressure ring and the seals underneath it.
Before closing the hatch of the body opening above the fuel module, you should check the tightness of the fuel line connections. To do this, after connecting the battery ground, turn on the ignition for 5 seconds, while observing whether there is a gasoline leak.
Before purchasing a new sensor, you need to find out the markings of the one installed on the VAZ-2110 - it is better to replace a failed device with the same model. Experts do not recommend choosing a sensor “by eye”, because there are a dozen types of FLS, differing in resistance values. If you don’t guess with the right modification, then the indicator arrow on the dashboard may “float”. The catalog number is printed on the sensor body.
Removing the Kalina fuel tank
Tool:
- Medium Phillips screwdriver
- Open-end wrench 10 mm
- Driver for socket attachment
- Knob attachment 10 mm
- Knob attachment 13 mm
- Adjustable stop
Parts and consumables:
Note:
We carry out the work on an inspection ditch or overpass with an empty fuel tank.
1. To remove fuel from the tank, remove the fuel module. To do this, use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the four self-tapping screws securing the hatch cover in the floor of the body under the rear seat, disconnect the fuel pipes and wire blocks. Then, use a screwdriver to turn the pressure ring and remove the fuel module. After this, we pump out the fuel through the hole in the tank.
2. Using a wrench or a 10mm socket, loosen the clamp securing the filler pipe hose and remove the hose from the fuel tank pipe.
Egnition lock
The ignition switch is a complex device designed to control the power supply to the vehicle systems, prevent the battery from discharging and ensure that the engine starts from the starter system. The castle includes two components:
- mechanical, represented by a lock cylinder;
- electrical, which is a set of contacts that close electrical impulses when the key is turned in one way or another.
The ignition switch on the Lada Kalina has three modes:
- Mode "0". In this position, the key can be easily removed, and the lighting, emergency lights, and audio system work.
- Mode "1", fixed. It is no longer possible to remove the key from this position; when it turns on, the ignition system is turned on and power is supplied to all systems except the starter. But it is worth considering that keeping the key in mode “1” for a long time can lead to battery discharge. This position is used when turning on the starter, so that the running fuel pump pumps up the required pressure to ensure further ideal operation of the starter.
- Mode “2”—activation of the starter system.
Drain algorithm
On the “classic”, gasoline was always drained through the neck of the tank; for Kalina (as well as for other front-wheel drive), this method is very difficult, especially if there is little gasoline in the tank.
The old-fashioned method involves draining gasoline through the neck . However, this number will not work with the first generation Kalina due to the curvature of the neck. The same applies to second-generation cars, in which the low location of the fuel tank is added to the above factor.
You can find a long silicone (transparent) hose and try to “stick” it into the neck as far as possible. If it's not cold outside, you may be able to reach the tank with a hose.
Parsing method
- There is a nipple at the end of the injector frame. We find and unscrew it.
There is a plastic cap on the ramp - there is a nipple underneath it.
We unscrew the nipple from the wheel.
- We put a hose for draining fuel onto the ramp.
If the hose is slightly larger than the diameter, fix it with a clamp.
- We lower the free end of the hose into the bucket.
- You need to insert a jumper into the fuel pump relay, and then turn on the ignition.
Removing the fuel filter
The method is similar to the previous one, only we will drain gasoline from the fuel filter. The fuel filter is located at the bottom of the car. We remove the supply fitting, close the relay and drain the gasoline.
The arrow indicates the fuel filter.
It is necessary to turn off the fuel pump as quickly as possible, as soon as gasoline stops coming out, otherwise the fuel pump may burn out!
Removing the fuel pump
It is necessary to drain the gasoline by removing the fuel pump.
- Raise the rear sofa. We lift the carpet.
Raise the rear sofa.
Find this place.
Unscrew it, there is a fuel pump inside.
- Remove the bolts securing the fuel pump cover.
- Disconnect the connectors and power cord.
- We get the fuel pump.
After dismantling the fuel pump, we gain free access to the contents of the fuel tank.
- Next, use a hose to pump out the gasoline. It is better to use a special hose with a bulb to avoid poisoning.
