FUEL TANK INSTALLATION
1. Inspect the condition and location of all tank mounting
pads, insulators and brackets. Defective, missing or
mislocated pads and insulators will cause the
transmission of excessive noise into the vehicle.
2. Install the new fuel line retaining clips, 1/4” duckbill
style and 5/16” hair pin style, into their respectively
sized fuel line connector. With the 1/4” duckbill
retainer properly installed, the serrated edges should
protrude through the side opening of the fuel line
connector. The 5/16” hairpin clip is installed with the
triangular portion of the clip facing away from the fuel
line connector opening.
(See Fig. 3)
3. Inspect and correct any defects in the fuel hoses, filler
neck connections, or similar components related to the
fuel system.
4. Install the fuel tank in the vehicle and tighten the tanks
support strap bolts. Reconnect all lines and hoses and
tighten securely. Connect the electrical connections.
Make certain that all hoses, fittings, and electrical
connections are correctly and securely attached.
5. Be sure that all fuel lines are correctly routed and
secured in any mounting brackets. Make sure the
wiring harness is installed in the original position and
secured in any wire clips or brackets, if present.
WRAP UP
1. Using only equipment approved for use with gasoline,
refill the fuel tank with gasoline.
(
Note:
Always clean
any gasoline spills immediately).
2. Inspect the fuel system for leaks. Repair any leaks before
proceeding.
3. With the ignition switch off, re-connect the negative
(ground) cable to the battery.
4. Turn the ignition key to the “Run” position only. This will
charge the fuel system. You may need to do this a few
times to get pressure. Once you have pressure, check for
any leaks and repair. Then, start engine and re-check for
leaks.
(Note: Turn off engine and correct any leaks
before continuing.)
.
5. Clear any trouble codes in the electronic control unit
(ECU) that may exist as a result of the fuel pump
replacement procedure. Use the factory service manual
for assistance, if necessary.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Should the fuel pump fail to operate:
1. Check the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay as outlined
in the factory service manual.
2. If the pump has power and proper polarity, check the
remainder of the fuel system as outlined in the service
manual.
(
Note:
This pump will not remedy any malfunctions in
the fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors, or other fuel
system problems).
