- Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
- When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
2. Remove the fuel tank.
3. Using soapy water, clean a minimum of 76 mm (3 in) surface area around the fuel pump module.
4. Disconnect the fuel supply and fuel vapor tube assembly quick connect couplings at the fuel pump module and remove the fuel supply and fuel vapor tube assembly from the fuel tank.
5. Using the special tool, remove the fuel pump module locking ring.
6. Lift the fuel pump module out of the fuel tank enough to disconnect the internal fuel tank grade vent valves-to-fuel pump quick connect coupling.
7. CAUTION: The fuel pump module must be handled carefully to avoid damage to the float arm and the filter.
Remove the fuel pump module.
8. Remove and discard the fuel pump module O-ring seal.
Installation
1. NOTE: Lubricate the new fuel pump module O-ring seal with clean engine oil prior to installation.
Install a new fuel pump module O-ring seal.
2. CAUTION: The fuel pump module must be handled carefully to avoid damage to the float arm and the filter.
Install the fuel pump module into the fuel tank enough to connect the internal fuel tank grade vent valves-to-fuel pump quick connect coupling.
3. Install the fuel pump module the rest of the way into the fuel tank.
4. Using the special tool, install the fuel pump module locking ring.
5. NOTE:
- The fuel pump module does not come equipped with a fuel pump module cover from the factory. The fuel pump module cover is only installed after service to the fuel pump module is performed.
- Before installing the fuel pump module cover, make sure it fits around all fuel and vapor ports and electrical connectors and allows enough clearance to install the fuel and vapor tube assembly and the fuel pump module electrical connector.
- Make sure a minimum of 76 mm (3 in) surface area is properly cleaned of all gas, oil and foreign material before installing the fuel pump module cover.
Install a fuel pump module cover over the fuel pump module and locking ring.
6. Install the fuel supply and fuel vapor tube assembly onto the fuel tank and connect the fuel supply and fuel vapor tube assembly quick connect couplings at the fuel pump module.
7. Install the fuel tank.
