DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIR IN FUEL
SYSTEM
Air will enter the fuel system whenever fuel supply
lines, separator filters, injection pump, high-pressure
lines or injectors are removed or disconnected. Air
trapped in the fuel system can result in hard start-
ing, a rough running engine, engine misfire, low
power, excessive smoke and fuel knock.
Inspect the fuel system from the fuel tank to the
injectors for loose connections (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM - WARNING). Leaking fuel is an indicator
of loose connections or defective seals. Air can also
enter the fuel system between the fuel tank and the
fuel pump. Inspect the fuel tank and fuel lines for
damage that might allow air into the system.
With the DRBIIItconnected to the vehicle, select
Engine and the select Sensor Display. Page down to
view Fuel Pressure Set Point and Actual Fuel Pres-
sure. Start the engine and observe the Fuel Pressure
Set Point and the Actual Fuel Pressure. If the Actual
Fuel Pressure Oscillates above and below the Fuel
Pressure Set Point in a regular cycle, perform the
Fuel System Air Purge procedure (Refer to 14 -
FUEL SYSTEM - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
If the Actual Fuel Pressure gradually drops below
the Fuel Pressure Set Point then spikes well above
the Fuel Pressure Set Point, replace the fuel pres-
sure solenoid (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL
INJECTION/FUEL PRESSURE SOLENOID -
REMOVAL), then perform the Fuel System Air Purgeprocedure (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE).
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURES - CLEANING FUEL
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
CAUTION: Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized
when handling or replacing diesel fuel system com-
ponents. This especially includes the fuel injectors,
high-pressure fuel lines, fuel rail, and fuel injection
pump. Very tight tolerances are used with these
parts. Dirt contamination could cause rapid part
wear and possible plugging of fuel injector nozzle
tip holes. This in turn could lead to possible engine
misfire. Always wash/clean any fuel system compo-
nent thoroughly before disassembly and then air
dry. DO NOT wire brush injector nozzles when
cleaning. Cap or cover any open part after disas-
sembly. Before assembly, examine each part for
dirt, grease or other contaminants and clean if nec-
essary. When installing new parts, lubricate them
with clean engine oil or clean diesel fuel only.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - DISCONNECTING
AND CONNECTING FUEL LINES
NOTE: Capture and store any fuel spillage in appro-
priately marked containers.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Push release arm to release position A, as far
as the stop (arrow) (Fig. 2).
(3) Disconnect fuel line.
(4) Immediately return the release arm back to the
assembly position, as far as the stop (Fig. 2).
The release arm must not be left in the release
position for a long time. Connectors left in the
release position for lengthy periods may leak and
must be replaced.
(5) Insert connector into connection in assembly
position (B) (Fig. 2).
(6) Ensure that the connectors are firmly seated
and free of leaks (Fig. 2).
STANDARD PROCEDURES - DRAINING WATER
FROM FUEL FILTER
Refer to Fuel Filter/Water Separator removal/in-
stallation for procedures (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYS-
TEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL FILTER / WATER
SEPARATOR - REMOVAL).

STANDARD PROCEDURE - LOW PRESSURE
FUEL PUMP TEST
NOTE: Assure fuel tank quantity and proper fuel
gauge operation. Capture any fuel spillage and
store in appropriately marked containers.
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Connect fuel gauge # 5069±2 with adaptor
#9068 to the low pressure fuel pump output line
junction at the fuel pressure sensor and assure that
the line locking tabs are secured in the lock position
(pulled back after hose is fitted properly). (Fig. 3).
(3) Connect negative battery cable.
(4) Crank or start the engine and observe the fuel
gauge reading.The low pressure pump draws fuel out of the fuel
tank through the fuel filter. If the pressure reading is
below specification, look for damaged or leaking fuel
lines, replace the fuel filter and repeat this test. If
the fuel pressure reading is below specification again,
replace the low pressure fuel pump.

FUEL RAIL
DESCRIPTION
The fuel rail acts like a high pressure store. It is
available to all injectors for drawing fuel which has
been compressed by the injection pump. The rail
pressure sensor, rail pressure solenoid, high pressure
line, and the return flow line are attached to the fuel
rail (Fig. 7).
OPERATION
The stored fuel volume inside the rail acts as a
damper for pressure fluctuations which result
because of pulsating supply and brief large extrac-
tions of fuel during injector firing. The rail primarily
influences the atomization of fuel at the injector noz-
zle, and the accuracy of injected quantity during
injection.

FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
The plastic fuel tank is mounted to the frame rails
under the left/center side of the vehicle. The fuel
tank contains a serviceable fuel tank module (Fig. 8)
and fuel level sending unit. The tank is also
equipped with 2 fuel lines: a fuel supply line to the
fuel pump, and a separate fuel return line. A section
of the fuel return line is coiled (Fig. 8) at the rear
section of the tank. This coiled section is used to help
drop the temperature of fuel returning to the tank.
A fuel tank mounted, electric fuel pump is not used
with diesel powered models. Refer to Fuel Tank Mod-
ule for additional information.
REMOVAL
(1) Drain diesel fuel from tank using an approved
diesel fuel draining station.
(2) Disconnect fuel fill and vent lines (Fig. 8) from
body.
(3) Raise and support vehicle.
(4) Support tank with a hydraulic jack.
(5) Remove 2 fuel tank strap nuts and position
straps towards left side of vehicle.
(6) Carefully lower tank a few inches and discon-
nect electrical connector at top of fuel tank module.
(7) Disconnect fuel supply line at tank.
(8) Disconnect fuel return line at tank.
(9) Continue to carefully lower tank for removal.
(10) If fuel tank module is to be removed, thor-
oughly clean area at top of fuel tank around module.
