Fuel Pump
Removal & Installation
To Remove:
WARNING
The fuel system is under constant pressure, even when the engine is off. This pressure must be released before servicing the fuel pump module.
- Drain fuel tank and remove the tank.
- Thoroughly wash and clean area around pump module to prevent contaminants from entering tank.
- The plastic fuel pump module locknut is threaded onto fuel tank. Install special tool #6856 to fuel pump module locknut and remove locknut. The fuel pump module will spring up when locknut is removed.
- Remove the module from fuel tank.
To Install:
CAUTION
Whenever the fuel pump module is serviced, the module gasket must be replaced.
- Thoroughly clean locknut threads and mating fuel tank threads. Use a solution of soap and water. Do not use carburetor cleaner to clean threads.
- Using new gasket, position fuel pump module into opening in fuel tank.
- Apply clean water to locknut threads.
- Position locknut over top of fuel pump module.
- Rotate module until arrow is pointed toward front of vehicle (12 o'clock position). This step must be done to prevent float/float rod assembly from contacting sides of fuel tank.
- Install special tool #6856 to the locknut.
- Tighten the locknut to 55 ft-lb (74 Nm).
- Rotate fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator until its fitting is pointed to 10 o'clock position.
