FUEL DOSING PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The dosing pump is a combined delivery, dosing
and shut-off system for the fuel supply to the heater
from the vehicles fuel tank.
OPERATION
The dosing pump is an electrically operated pump
that receives its operation instructions from the sup-
plemental heater electronic control module. The
pump supplies diesel fuel from the fuel tank to the
heater unit.
REMOVAL
The dosing pump is serviceable without removing
the component from the vehicle.
(1) Disconnect the rubber hose at the fuel line to
heater fuel pump. Leave the rubber hose on the fuel
line.(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITION-
ING/CABIN HEATER/FUEL LINE - REMOVAL)
(Fig. 2).
(2) Disconnect the fuel line between the dosing
pump and the heater unit.NOTE: Position and retain heater fuel line to pre-
vent fuel leakage while servicing dosing pump.
NOTE: Utilize an approved fuel storage container to
catch any residual fuel.
(3) Disconnect the electrical connector to the fuel
pump by depressing the integral spring and pulling
the connector away from the pump.
(4) Remove the dosing pump from the rubber iso-
lation.
INSTALLATION
(1) Mount the rubber isolation back onto the
splash shield mounting flanges at two locations.
(2) Connect fuel lines to the dosing pump and the
heater unit. The connectors should point towards the
heater fuel line.
(3) Use aviation style clamps to attach the hose to
the fuel pump nipples(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/CABIN HEATER/FUEL LINE -
INSTALLATION).

(4) Connect the electrical connector to the fuel
pump by depressing the integral spring and pushing
the connector towards the dosing pump. Pull the con-
nector towards the heater to verify the installation.
(5) Verify function of the heater.
FUEL LINE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLEANING
(1) Remove the cabin heater fuel line(Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CABIN HEAT-
ER/FUEL LINE - REMOVAL).
(2) With cabin heater line removed from vehicle
place a shop cloth on the fuel tank end of the fuel
line to catch any residue, then apply a small amount
of air pressure to the other end of the fuel line.
(3) Check to see if air pressure is coming from the
tank end of the line. If pressure is flowing unre-
stricted the line is clean.
(4) If the line shows any signs of being restricted
after air pressure is applied, then the fuel line should
be replaced.
(5) Install the cabin heater line(Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CABIN HEAT-
ER/FUEL LINE - INSTALLATION).
(6) Verify function of the heater.
REMOVAL
(1) Elevate vehicle on a lift taking note of the
heater exhaust tube flexible section.
(2) Remove clamps on dosing pump end of fuel line
and separate line from pump (Fig. 3).
NOTE: Have an approved fuel holding device ready
to capture any diesel fuel that drains from fuel line
or heater unit.
(3) Remove clamp from fuel line at fuel tank con-
nection and separate line from tank.
(4) Remove any retaining clips and remove line
from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE DCHA IN AN
ENCLOSED AREA SUCH AS A GARAGE THAT
DOES NOT HAVE EXHAUST VENTILATION FACILI-
TIES. ALWAYS VENT THE DCHA'S EXHAUST WHEN
OPERATING THE DCHA. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
