REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Remove the fuel tank. Refer to Service Library Service Information Section 14-Fuel System >
Fuel Delivery, Diesel > Tank, Fuel > Removal.
2. Using appropriate storage and/or disposal methods, in accordance with your local regulations
drain, and dispose of all of the contaminated fuel from the fuel tank.
NOTE: Do not attempt to flush any of the fuel components (high or low pressure) using
Brakleen™ or similar harsh solvent cleaners. This may cause damage to any internal
coatings. For an effective repair, all high pressure fuel system components should
be replaced.
3. Thoroughly clean, and flush the fuel tank using fresh, clean, diesel fuel.
NOTE: The In-tank fuel pump (lift pump) is not part of the Fuel System Kit and must be
ordered separately based on the VIN.
4. Replace the in-tank fuel pump module.
NOTE: In some vehicle applications, leave the fuel tank partially installed to allow access to
the fuel return line fitting.
5. Reinstall the fuel tank, leaving the chassis fuel return line disconnected at the tank.
6. Fill the tank with 10 gallons of fresh fuel.
7. Remove the chassis mounted fuel filter element.
8. Place an appropriate catch basin under the fuel filter housing to capture all fuel expelled during
