If the seal (1) inside the fuel filter element (2) is not lubricated, lubricate the seal with clean engine oil or clean
diesel fuel.
CAUTION
Ensure that the engine oil, diesel fuel, and your hands are clean. Introducing dirt into the fuel system can result in failure of fuel
system components.
NOTE
If using fuel filter part number 2277129, the seal (1) is pre-lubricated and does not require additional lubrication. The
lubrication may appear to be a white film.
If using fuel filter part number 1852006, 2133096, or 2164463, ensure that seal (1) is lubricated with clean engine oil or
clean diesel fuel.
2.
Insert the fuel filter element (2) into the fuel filtration module (3) using a circular downward motion until the stop is
reached.
3.
Rotate the fuel filter element (2) an additional 90° (4) in the fuel filtration module.
4.
Lubricate the recess of the filter screw cap (5) with clean engine oil.
5.
Install a new O-ring (6) on the filter cap and lubricate it with clean engine oil.
6.
Install the fuel filter cap (5) by hand until the filter cap O-ring (6) makes contact with the fuel module (3). Then,
using a hexagonal socket and torque wrench, tighten the filter cap to 30 lb-ft ± 6 (40 N·m ± 8).
