Low Pressure Fuel Line Kits
(P/N: A4600702932 and
A4600703032)
KIT DESCRIPTION
New service kits (P/N: A4600702932 and A4600703032) contain a steel low pressure
fuel line and associated parts to replace the former plastic fuel line. In addition to
installing the parts, EPA04 engines relative to recall 11C2 equipped with a Hengst fuel
filter housing with engine serial numbers from 0460878301 to 0460884090 and EPA07
engines relative to recall 09C2 with a Hengst fuel filter housing with engine serial
numbers from 0460847011 to 0460888753 must have the fuel filter housing wall
thickness inspected.
KIT CONTENTS
The two new service kits contain the parts listed in Table 1:

REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Install the new steel low pressure fuel line as follows.
NOTE:
Certain parts must be retained during the removal process for reuse during the
installation process. These parts will be noted in bolded font in the removal steps below.
REMOVAL
1. Apply the parking brake, chock the wheel, disconnect vehicle battery power, and
perform any other applicable safety steps.
2. Open the fuel tank fill cap to release pressure in the fuel system. Replace and
tighten the cap.
3. Loosen the alternator belt.
4. Remove four M10 x 100 bolts that secure the alternator to its mounting bracket.
Save bolts for reuse.

18SP660Rev2 Page 2 of 9

5. Gently remove the alternator and set on frame rail. Be careful not to damage the
alternator or the cables attached to it. See Figure 1.

Alternator Removal

6. Remove two M8 x 40 bolts from the low pressure fuel line clamps. Save bolts
and clamps for reuse. See Figure 2.

7. Remove M16 x 28 banjo bolt on plastic low pressure fuel line at front of block
through access hole in alternator mounting bracket. Do NOT remove the spacer
the bolt threads in to. Discard banjo bolt and two seal rings. See Figure 3. Torque
spacer to 50 N·m (37 lb·ft) to insure it did not loosen during banjo bolt removal.
NOTE:
In a suitable container, catch any fuel that runs out of the low pressure fuel line or
cylinder block.

8. Remove banjo bolt at other end of low pressure fuel line at fuel filter housing.
Discard the banjo bolt and seal rings. See Figure 4 (EPA07 configuration).
NOTE:
In a suitable container, catch any fuel that runs out of the low pressure fuel line or fuel
filter housing.

9. Remove plastic low pressure fuel line from engine. Discard fuel line. Be careful
not to damage the hydrocarbon doser block fuel supply line
(EPA07 configuration).

10. Engines equipped with a Hengst fuel filter housing with an EPA04 engine relative
to recall 11C2, serial numbers between 0460878301 and 0460884090 or EPA07
engines relative to recall 09C2, serial numbers between 0460847011 and
0460888753 must have the fuel filter housing wall thickness inspected. Insert tool
J-50161 into the hole in the fuel filter housing where the low pressure fuel line
was removed, until it bottoms out.
NOTE:
On the Hengst housing, the low pressure fuel line bore is marked with a
letter “A” for reference. See Figure 5.

Figure 5

Low Pressure Fuel Line Hole

11. Swing the tool arm up from the bottom to avoid interference with fuel lines. See
Figure 6.
a. If the arm DOES NOT go past the end of the fuel filter housing, the
housing has sufficient wall thickness.
b. If the arm DOES go past the end of the fuel filter housing and ends up
parallel with the stationary body of the gauge, the housing does not have
sufficient wall thickness and MUST be replaced.
NOTE:
Refer to 10 TS-5 for warranty information and DDC-SVC-MAN-0026 for
repair information.

INSTALLATION
1. Place new steel low pressure fuel line (P/N: A4600702832) into position.
2. Install and hand tighten new M16 x 28 banjo bolt (P/N: N915036012101) with two
new seal rings (P/N: N000000001070) on new steel low pressure fuel line into
spacer at front of cylinder block through alternator mounting bracket access hole.
3. Install and hand tighten new M16 banjo bolt at fuel filter housing:
a. For EPA04 configuration, use M16 x 28 banjo bolt (P/N: N915036012101)
with two new seal rings (P/N: N000000001070).
b. For EPA07 configuration, use M16 x 46 banjo bolt (P/N: N915047012100)
with three new seal rings (P/N: N000000001070), along with the
hydrocarbon doser block fuel supply line. The new steel low pressure fuel
line will be closest to the fuel filter housing. Do NOT bend either the steel
low pressure fuel line or the hydrocarbon doser block fuel supply line. See
Figure 7 for the correct installation of the lines.

4. Torque the banjo bolts to 40 N·m (30 lb·ft), starting with the banjo bolt at the front
of the cylinder block.
5. Install fuel line clamps in their original positions. Clamps must go over foam
covered areas of the fuel lines. See Figure 8.

6. Torque clamp bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb·ft).
7. Install alternator to its mounting bracket with four M10 x 100 bolts. Torque bolts
to 46 N·m (34 lb·ft).
8. Install and tighten alternator belt to correct specifications.
9. Reconnect vehicle battery power.
10. Prime fuel system.

11. Start engine.
12. For EPA07 engines, use the purge function in DDDL/DDRS 7.0 to purge all the
