Attach end of special test hose tool number 6541,
6539, 6631 or 6923 at fuel rail disconnection (tool
number will depend on model and/or engine applica-
tion). Position opposite end of this hose tool to an
approved gasoline draining station. Activate fuel
pump and drain tank until empty.
If electric fuel pump is not operating, tank must be
lowered for fuel draining. Refer to following proce-
dures.
(1) Remove fuel tank filler tube cap.
(2) Perform Fuel System Pressure Release proce-
dure as described in this group.
(3) Gasoline Engines: Disconnect negative battery
cable at battery. Diesel Engines: Disconnect both neg-
ative battery cables at both batteries.
(4) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(5) Certain models are equipped with a separate
grounding wire (strap) connecting the fuel fill tube
assembly to the body. Disconnect wire by removing
screw.
(6) Open fuel fill door and remove screws mount-
ing fuel filler tube assembly to body. Do not discon-
nect rubber fuel fill or vent hoses from tank at this
time.
(7) Place a transmission jack under center of fuel
tank. Apply a slight amount of pressure to fuel tank
with transmission jack.
(8) Remove fuel tank mounting strap nuts from
mounting strap studs (Fig. 32). If equipped, remove
fuel tank shield bolts.
(9) Lower fuel tank only enough to allow access to
top of tank. The 2 tank fittings (where rubber fuel fill
and vent hose connections are made) must be posi-
tioned above tank level. Rotate tank slightly to allow
these fittings to be above tank level.
WARNING: WRAP SHOP TOWELS AROUND HOSES
TO CATCH ANY GASOLINE SPILLAGE.
(10) While working over left rear tire/wheel, dis-
connect rubber fuel vent hose at fuel tank (Fig. 32)
(vent hose is the smallest of 2 hoses). Position fuel
siphoning/drain hose into this fitting at tank. Drain
fuel into an approved portable holding tank or a
properly labeled gasoline (or diesel fuel) safety con-
tainer.
(11) Disconnect rubber fuel fill hose at fuel tank
(Fig. 32).
(12)Gas Powered Engines:
(a) While working over left rear tire/wheel, dis-
connect wiring harness connector from electrical
connector at top of fuel pump module (Fig. 33) or
(Fig. 34).
(b) If equipped with 26 or 34 gallon fuel tank,
two EVAP lines are connected to the fuel tank
check valves. Disconnect EVAP line from check
valve at top of module (Fig. 33). Disconnect otherEVAP line from check valve near rear of tank (Fig.
33).
(c) If equipped with 35 gallon fuel tank, two
EVAP lines are connected to the fuel tank check
valves. Disconnect EVAP lines from check valves at
top-front and top-rear of fuel tank (Fig. 35).
(d) Disconnect fuel supply line at fuel filter/fuel
pressure regulator supply fitting (Fig. 33) or (Fig.
34). Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings for proce-
dures.

FUEL HEATER
DESCRIPTION
The fuel heater assembly is located on the side of
the fuel filter housing (Fig. 18).
The heater/element assembly is equipped with a
temperature sensor (thermostat) that senses fuel
temperature. This sensor is attached to the fuel heat-
er/element assembly.
OPERATION
The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from
waxing during cold weather operation.
When the temperature is below 45  8 degrees F,
the temperature sensor allows current to flow to the
heater element warming the fuel. When the temper-
ature is above 75  8 degrees F, the sensor stops cur-
rent flow to the heater element.
Battery voltage to operate the fuel heater element
is supplied from the ignition switch and through the
fuel heater relay. Also refer to Fuel Heater Relay.
The fuel heater element and fuel heater relay
are not computer controlled.
The heater element operates on 12 volts, 300 watts
at 0 degrees F.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL HEATER
The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from
waxing during cold weather operation.
NOTE: The fuel heater element, fuel heater relay
and fuel heater temperature sensor are not con-
trolled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
A malfunctioning fuel heater can cause a wax
build-up in the fuel filter/water separator. Wax
build-up in the filter/separator can cause engine
starting problems and prevent the engine from rev-
ving up. It can also cause blue or white fog-like
exhaust. If the heater is not operating in cold tem-
peratures, the engine may not operate due to fuel
waxing.
The fuel heater assembly is located on the side of
the fuel filter housing (Fig. 19).
The heater assembly is equipped with a built-in
fuel temperature sensor (thermostat) that senses fuel
temperature. When fuel temperature drops below 45
degrees   8 degrees F, the sensor allows current to
flow to the built-in heater element to warm the fuel.
When fuel temperature rises above 75 degrees   8
degrees F, the sensor stops current flow to the heater
element (circuit is open).

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
(1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
(2) Remove air cleaner if necessary.
(3) Disconnect cable end from attachment stud.
Carefully slide cable off stud. Do not pry or pull
cable off.
(4) Verify that transmission throttle lever is in
fully closed position. Then be sure lever on throttle
body is at curb idle position.
(5) Pry the T.V. cable lock (A) into the UP position
(Fig. 236). This will unlock the cable and allow for
readjustment.
(6) Apply just enough tension on the T.V. cable (B)
to remove any slack in the cable.Pulling too tight
will cause the T.V. lever on the transmission to
move out of its idle position, which will result
in an incorrect T.V. cable adjustment.Slide the
sheath of the T.V. cable (D) back and forth until the
centerlines of the T.V. cable end (B) and the throttle
bell crank lever (C) are aligned within one millimeter
(1mm) (Fig. 236).
(7) While holding the T.V. cable in the set position
push the T.V. cable lock (A) into the down position
(Fig. 236). This will lock the present T.V. cable
adjustment.NOTE: Be sure that as the cable is pulled forward
and centered on the throttle lever stud, the cable
housing moves smoothly with the cable. Due to the
angle at which the cable housing enters the spring
housing, the cable housing may bind slightly and
create an incorrect adjustment.
(8) Reconnect the T.V. cable (B) to the throttle
bellcrank lever (C).
(9) Check cable adjustment. Verify transmission
throttle lever and lever on throttle body move simul-
taneously.
