Removal Procedure
- Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief .
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Disconnect the fuel return hose (1) from the fuel return pipe by the fuel tank.
- Disconnect the fuel vapor hose (2) from the fuel vapor pipe by the fuel tank.
- Disconnect the fuel feed outlet hose from the fuel filter.
- Disconnect the fuel vapor hose (3) from the fuel vapor pipe in the engine compartment.
- Disconnect the fuel return hose (4) from the fuel return pipe in the engine compartment.
- Disconnect the fuel feed hose (1) from the fuel feed pipe in the engine compartment.
- Disconnect the retaining clamp (2) from the fuel pipes.
- Disconnect the retaining clamps (2) from the fuel pipes (1).
- Remove the fuel pipes (1) from the vehicle chassis.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
Caution: To avoid any vehicle damage, serious personal injury or death when major components are removed from the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by a hoist, support the vehicle with jack stands at the opposite end from which the components are being removed and strap the vehicle to the hoist.
Installation Procedure
- Install the fuel pipes (1) to the frame of the vehicle chassis.
- Secure the fuel pipes (1) with the retaining clamps (2).
- Connect the fuel vapor hose (3) to the fuel vapor pipe in the engine compartment.
- Connect the fuel return hose (4) to the fuel return pipe in the engine compartment.
- Connect the fuel feed hose (1) to the fuel feed pipe in the engine compartment.
- Connect the fuel vapor hose (2) to the fuel vapor pipe by the fuel tank.
- Connect the fuel return hose (1) to the fuel return pipe by the fuel tank.
- Connect the fuel feed outlet hose from the fuel filter to the fuel feed pipe.
- Lower the vehicle.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Start the engine.
- Check for any fuel leaks and repair as necessary.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the negative battery cable retainer to 8 N·m (72 lb in).
