2001 DODGE RAM fuel filter

(17) When LCS adapter test leads are attached
into relay cavities, fuel pumpwill be activated.
Determine fuel pump amperage on DRB screen.
Amperage should be below 10.0 amps. If amperage is
below 10.0 amps, and specifications for the Fuel
Pump Pressure, Fuel Pump Capacity and Fuel Pres-
sure Leak Down tests were met, the fuel pump mod-
ule is OK.
(18) If amperage is more than 10.0 amps, replace
fuel pump module assembly. The electric fuel pump
is not serviced separately.
(19) Disconnect test leads from relay cavities
immediately after testing.
FUEL PUMP MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump module on all gas powered engines
is installed in the top of the fuel tank (Fig. 16) or
(Fig. 17). The fuel pump module (Fig. 16), (Fig. 17)or
(Fig. 18)contains the following:
²A combination fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator
²Electric fuel pump
²Fuel pump reservoir
²A separate in-tank fuel filter (at bottom of mod-
ule)²Rollover valve (certain modules)
²Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
²Fuel supply line connection at filter/regulator
²A threaded locknut retaining pump module to
fuel tank
²A gasket between tank flange and module
²Auxiliary non-pressurized fuel supply fitting (not
all engines)
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor), and
pick-up filter (at bottom of module) may be serviced
separately. If the electrical fuel pump requires ser-
vice, the entire fuel pump module must be replaced.
The fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator may be ser-
viced separately. Refer to Fuel Filter/Fuel Pressure
Regulator Removal/Installation for additional infor-
mation.

REMOVAL
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING THE FUEL PUMP MODULE,
THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE
RELEASED.
(1) Drain and remove fuel tank. Refer to Fuel
Tank - All Engines in the Removal/Installation sec-
tion.
(2) The plastic fuel pump module locknut is
threaded onto fuel tank (Fig. 19) or (Fig. 20). Install
Special Tool 6856 to locknut and remove locknut (Fig.
21). The fuel pump module will spring up when lock-
nut is removed.
(3) Remove module from fuel tank.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Whenever the fuel pump module is ser-
viced, the rubber gasket must be replaced.
(1) Using a new gasket, position fuel pump module
into opening in fuel tank.

QUICK CONNECT FITTING
DESCRIPTION
Different types of quick-connect fittings are used to
attach various fuel system components, lines and
tubes. These are: a single-tab type, a two-tab type or
a plastic retainer ring type. Some are equipped with
safety latch clips. Some may require the use of a spe-
cial tool for disconnection and removal. Refer to
Quick-Connect Fittings Removal/Installation for more
information.
CAUTION: The interior components (o-rings, clips)
of quick-connect fittings are not serviced sepa-
rately, but new plastic spacers are available for
some types. If service parts are not available, do
not attempt to repair the damaged fitting or fuel line
(tube). If repair is necessary, replace the complete
fuel line (tube) assembly.
