This procedure checks for the presence of water and gasoline
in the diesel fuel that may cause the injection pump and the nozzle to incur
damage.
- Remove the fuel filter element.
- Inspect the fuel filter element.
| • | If water, gasoline or fungi/bacteria are not present, end the
inspection. |
- Cleaning the water from the Fuel System.
| • | Disconnect the batteries. |
| • | Remove the fuel tank. (Refer to Fuel Tank Replacement). |
| • | Remove the fuel sender unit. (Refer to Fuel Sender Assembly Replacement
). |
| • | Inspect the fuel tank and the fuel sender for rust, fungi or bacteria. |
| • | Clean the inside of the fuel tank and the fuel sender with hot
water. |
| • | Dry the fuel tank and the fuel sender with compressed air. |
| • | Disconnect the ends of the following lines. |
| - | The lift pump suction line |
| - | The lift pump feed line |
| - | The fuel filter outlet line |
| - | The fuel filter drain line |
| • | Inspect each of the pipes and replace any rusted pipes. |
| • | Clean the inside of the fuel filter housing. |
| • | Dry the inside of the fuel filter housing with compressed air. |
| • | Dry the inside of each line with low pressure air. |
| • | Remove the FUEL SOL fuse from the fuse panel. |
| • | Install a new fuel filter element. |
| • | Install the fuel sender and the fuel tank (add clean diesel fuel
to ¼ full). |
| • | Reconnect the following lines. |
| - | The lift pump suction (both ends) lines |
| - | The lift pump feed (both ends) lines |
| - | The fuel filter drain line |
| - | The fuel return (at injection pump) line |
| • | Connect the fuel filter outlet and the fuel return line at the
fuel sender to the hoses that flow to the metal containers. |
| • | Use the Scan Tool in order to command the lift pump ON. |
| • | Operate the lift pump until the clean fuel flows from the fuel
filter outlet into a metal container. |
| • | Connect the hose from the fuel filter outlet to the injection
pump inlet. |
| • | Open each injection line at each nozzle end. |
| • | Crank the engine until the clean fuel flows from it. |
| - | Use two wrenches when loosening the injection line fittings. |
| - | Allow a maximum of 15 seconds cranking time, followed by 1 minute
of cranking motor cooling time. |
| • | Use two wrenches in order to tighten each injection line fitting
at its nozzle. |
| • | Install the FUEL SOL fuse in the fuse panel. |
| • | Allow the engine to run for 1 minute while the fuel flows from
the fuel return line into a metal container. |
| • | Connect the fuel return hose to the fuel sender. |
| • | Clean the engine of fuel spillage. |
| • | Fill the fuel tank and add a biocide, if needed. |
