fitting and fuel lines are clean. Note location of release tab and
pull tab on disconnect fitting. See Fig. 6.
CAUTION: Release tab must be pressed downward before removing pull tab
or pull tab will be damaged.
2) Press release tab downward. Use screwdriver to pry pull
tab upward until pull tab separates from disconnect fitting. Remove
disconnect fitting from fuel line. Inspect components for damage. If
disconnect fitting is damaged, entire assembly must be replaced, as
only pull tab can be replaced.
3) To install, ensure fuel line and disconnect fitting are
clean. Lubricate fuel line and disconnect fitting with engine oil.
Install disconnect fitting on fuel line until disconnect fitting
bottoms on fuel line.
4) Install NEW pull tab until pull tab locks in disconnect
fitting. DO NOT reuse old pull tab. Pull on fuel line and disconnect
fitting to ensure components are properly locked together. Reconnect
negative battery cables. Start engine and check for leaks.
Removal & Installation (Dual Tab)
1) Disconnect negative battery cables. Ensure disconnect
fitting and fuel lines are clean. Note location of tabs on disconnect
fitting. See Fig. 6.
2) Squeeze both tabs against disconnect fitting. Pull
disconnect fitting from fuel line. The plastic retainer will remain on
the fuel system component being serviced. The "O" rings and spacer
will remain in the disconnect fitting.
3) Inspect components for damage. If disconnect fitting is
damaged, entire assembly must be replaced. The only component that may
be replaced is the plastic retainer. If plastic retainer must be
removed from fuel system component, carefully release the plastic
retainer from the fuel system component using 2 screwdrivers. Inspect
plastic retainer for cracks or damage. Replace plastic retainer if
defective.
4) To install, ensure fuel line and disconnect fitting are
clean. Lubricate fuel line and disconnect fitting with engine oil.
Install disconnect fitting on fuel line until click sound is heard.
5) Pull on fuel line and disconnect fitting to ensure
components are properly locked together. Reconnect negative battery
cables. Start engine and check for leaks.
Removal & Installation (Plastic Retainer Ring)
1) Disconnect negative battery cables. Ensure disconnect
fitting and fuel lines are clean. Note location of plastic retainer
ring on disconnect fitting. See Fig. 6.
NOTE: Plastic retainer ring must be pressed evenly into disconnect
fitting. If plastic retainer is not even, it will be
difficult to remove disconnect fitting from fuel line.
2) Firmly push disconnect fitting toward the fuel line while
pushing plastic retainer ring evenly into disconnect fitting. With
plastic retainer ring fully depressed, pull disconnect fitting from
fuel line.
3) Inspect components for damage. If disconnect fitting is
damaged, entire assembly must be replaced.
4) To install, ensure fuel line and disconnect fitting are
clean. Lubricate fuel line and disconnect fitting with engine oil.
Install disconnect fitting on fuel line until click sound is heard.
5) Pull on fuel line and disconnect fitting to ensure
components are properly locked together. Reconnect negative battery
cables. Start engine and check for leaks.

Removal
1) Raise and support vehicle. Disconnect negative battery
cables. Drain fuel tank. Remove fuel tank filler tube bolts from body.
Support fuel tank with transmission jack. Remove fuel tank straps and
heat shields (if equipped).
2) Slightly lower fuel tank for access to fuel lines and
electrical connector at fuel tank module. Disconnect electrical
connector and fuel lines at fuel tank module. See Fig. 7. Use proper
procedure when disconnecting fuel lines. See FUEL LINE DISCONNECT
FITTINGS under FUEL SYSTEM.
NOTE: Information for servicing of in-tank fuel filter is not
available from manufacturer. If necessary to service in-tank
fuel filter, consult parts department to verify if filter may
be replace without replacing fuel tank module.
3) Note direction of fuel line connections on fuel tank
module for installation reference. Using Spanner Wrench (6856),
unscrew plastic fuel tank module lock nut from fuel tank. Remove fuel
tank module and gasket from fuel tank. Inspect in-tank fuel filter for
damage.
Installation
1) Using NEW gasket, install fuel tank module in fuel tank.
Install plastic fuel tank module lock nut finger tight. DO NOT tighten
plastic fuel tank module lock nut at this time.
2) Position fuel tank module so fuel line connections and
electric connection are facing toward driver's side of vehicle. This
must be done to prevent float on fuel gauge sending unit from
contacting fuel tank.
3) Once fuel tank module is properly positioned, tighten
plastic fuel tank module lock nut to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS.
4) Install fuel lines on fuel tank module using proper
procedure. See FUEL LINE DISCONNECT FITTINGS under FUEL SYSTEM.
Install electrical connector on fuel tank module. Reinstall fuel tank.
Tighten fuel tank strap nuts to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS. Reconnect negative battery cables.

FUEL INJECTOR DRAIN LINE ASSEMBLY
Page 934 of 1691

Apply light coat of engine oil on NEW .060" (1.5 mm) thick Copper
sealing washer. Install NEW Copper sealing washer on spray tip of fuel
injector. Engine oil is used to aid holding sealing washer in place.
Install new "O" ring on fuel injector. Apply small amount of engine
oil to "O" ring.
2) Ensure fuel inlet hole on side of fuel injector is
positioned toward injector connector tube. Install injector into
cylinder head bore using care not to allow injector tip to touch sides
of bore. Press fuel injector into cylinder head with finger pressure
only. Install fuel injector hold down clamp into shouldered bolt while
aligning slot in top of injector into groove in bottom of clamp.
Tighten opposite clamp bolt to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS.
3) Apply small amount of clean engine oil to NEW "O" ring.
Install "O" ring to fuel injector connector tube. Using finger
pressure only, press injector connector tube into cylinder head.
Connect and tighten high pressure fuel lines to specification. See
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
NOTE: Fuel line fitting torque is important. Mating surfaces will
not seal if fuel line fitting is under or over-torqued.
4) To install remaining components, reverse removal
procedure. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
Bleed high-pressure fuel lines. See FUEL LINE BLEEDING under FUEL
SYSTEM.
FUEL INJECTION PUMP
CAUTION: High-pressure fuel lines must be clamped securely and routed
so they do not contact each other or any other components. DO
NOT weld or substitute high-pressure fuel lines. High
-pressure lines are same length and proper high-pressure fuel
line must be installed in specified area for proper engine
operation.
Removal
1) Disconnect negative battery cables. Clean fuel lines at
cylinder head and injection pump. Clean fuel injection pump and fuel
lines at side of pump. Disconnect 9-pin electrical connector at Fuel
Pump Control Module (FPCM). Place a rag around overflow valve to catch\
excess fuel. Remove overflow valve and disconnect fuel return line.
Remove banjo bolts and fuel supply line at side of injection pump and
top of fuel filter housing.
2) Remove all high pressure fuel lines, intake air tube,
accelerator pedal position sensor, air intake housing, engine oil
dipstick tube, wiring clips, electrical connectors at intake heaters,
and engine lifting bracket. Unscrew plastic access cap at front gear
cover. Remove injection pump gear-to-injection pump shaft nut and
washer.
3) Engine may be rotated by removing dust plug from
transmission adapter plate and installing Engine Barring Tool (Snap-On
SP371) in transmission adapter plate. See Fig. 9. Rotate engine until
keyway is at 12 o'clock position.

CAUTION: Engine must be rotated until keyway is at 12 o'clock position
to prevent pump/gear keyway from falling into gear housing.
If gear retainer nut, washer or key drops into gear housing,
cover may have to be removed to retrieve them before engine
start.
4) Using gear puller, separate injection pump gear from
injection pump shaft. See Fig. 11. DO NOT pull fuel injection pump
drive gear too far forward or timing gear cover may be damaged.
5) Remove 3 lower fuel injection pump-to-lower mounting
bracket bolts. Loosen 2 engine bracket bolts. See Fig. 10. Remove 4
fuel injection pump-to-gear housing nuts. Remove fuel injection pump.
Use care not to scratch or damage shaft of fuel injection pump during
removal.
