The fuel rail is not repairable.
CAUTION: The left and right sections of the fuel rail
are connected with a flexible connecting hose. Do
not attempt to separate the rail halves at this con-
necting hose. Due to the design of this connecting
hose, it does not use any clamps. Never attempt to
install a clamping device of any kind to the hose.
When removing the fuel rail assembly for any rea-
son, be careful not to bend or kink the connecting
hose.
OPERATION - 8.0L
High pressure from the fuel pump is routed to the
fuel rail. The fuel rail then supplies the necessary
fuel to each individual fuel injector.
A fuel pressure test port is located on the fuel rail.
A quick-connect fitting with a safety latch clip is
used to attach the fuel line to the fuel rail.
The fuel rail is not repairable.

REMOVAL - 5.9L
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH ENGINE TURNED
OFF). BEFORE SERVICING FUEL RAIL ASSEMBLY,
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED.
To release fuel pressure, refer to Fuel System Pres-
sure Release Procedure found in this group.
CAUTION: The left and right fuel rails are replaced
as an assembly. Do not attempt to separate the rail
halves at the connecting hose (Fig. 24). Due to the
design of this connecting hose, it does use any
clamps. Never attempt to install a clamping device
of any kind to the hose. When removing the fuel rail
assembly for any reason, be careful not to bend or
kink the connecting hose.

FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank is constructed of a plastic material.
Its main functions are for fuel storage and for place-
ment of the fuel pump module.
OPERATION
All models pass a full 360 degree rollover test
without fuel leakage. To accomplish this, fuel and
vapor flow controls are required for all fuel tank con-
nections.
A fuel tank check valve(s) is mounted into the top
of the fuel tank (or pump module). Refer to Emission
Control System for fuel tank check valve information.
An evaporation control system is connected to the
rollover valve(s) to reduce emissions of fuel vapors
into the atmosphere. When fuel evaporates from the
fuel tank, vapors pass through vent hoses or tubes to
a charcoal canister where they are temporarily held.
When the engine is running, the vapors are drawn
into the intake manifold. Certain models are also
equipped with a self-diagnosing system using a Leak
Detection Pump (LDP). Refer to Emission Control
System for additional information.
REMOVAL
WARNING: GASOLINE POWERED ENGINES: THE
FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE
EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF. BEFORE SERVICING
THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST
BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL SYSTEM
PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE BEFORE SER-
VICING THE FUEL TANK.
Two different procedures may be used to drain fuel
tank (lowering tank or using DRB scan tool). When
equipped with a diesel engine, the DRB scan tool
cannot be used (no electric fuel pump).
The quickest draining procedure involves lowering
the fuel tank.
Gasoline Powered Engines:As an alternative
procedure, the electric fuel pump may be activated
allowing tank to be drained at fuel rail connection.
Refer to DRB scan tool for fuel pump activation pro-
cedures. Before disconnecting fuel line at fuel rail,
release fuel pressure. Refer to the Fuel System Pres-
sure Release Procedure in this group for procedures.

Attach end of special test hose tool number 6541,
6539, 6631 or 6923 at fuel rail disconnection (tool
number will depend on model and/or engine applica-
tion). Position opposite end of this hose tool to an
approved gasoline draining station. Activate fuel
pump and drain tank until empty.
If electric fuel pump is not operating, tank must be
lowered for fuel draining. Refer to following proce-
dures.
(1) Remove fuel tank filler tube cap.
(2) Perform Fuel System Pressure Release proce-
dure as described in this group.
(3) Gasoline Engines: Disconnect negative battery
cable at battery. Diesel Engines: Disconnect both neg-
ative battery cables at both batteries.
(4) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(5) Certain models are equipped with a separate
grounding wire (strap) connecting the fuel fill tube
assembly to the body. Disconnect wire by removing
screw.
(6) Open fuel fill door and remove screws mount-
ing fuel filler tube assembly to body. Do not discon-
nect rubber fuel fill or vent hoses from tank at this
time.
(7) Place a transmission jack under center of fuel
tank. Apply a slight amount of pressure to fuel tank
with transmission jack.
(8) Remove fuel tank mounting strap nuts from
mounting strap studs (Fig. 32). If equipped, remove
fuel tank shield bolts.
(9) Lower fuel tank only enough to allow access to
top of tank. The 2 tank fittings (where rubber fuel fill
and vent hose connections are made) must be posi-
tioned above tank level. Rotate tank slightly to allow
these fittings to be above tank level.
WARNING: WRAP SHOP TOWELS AROUND HOSES
TO CATCH ANY GASOLINE SPILLAGE.
(10) While working over left rear tire/wheel, dis-
connect rubber fuel vent hose at fuel tank (Fig. 32)
(vent hose is the smallest of 2 hoses). Position fuel
siphoning/drain hose into this fitting at tank. Drain
fuel into an approved portable holding tank or a
properly labeled gasoline (or diesel fuel) safety con-
tainer.
(11) Disconnect rubber fuel fill hose at fuel tank
(Fig. 32).
(12)Gas Powered Engines:
(a) While working over left rear tire/wheel, dis-
connect wiring harness connector from electrical
connector at top of fuel pump module (Fig. 33) or
(Fig. 34).
(b) If equipped with 26 or 34 gallon fuel tank,
two EVAP lines are connected to the fuel tank
check valves. Disconnect EVAP line from check
valve at top of module (Fig. 33). Disconnect otherEVAP line from check valve near rear of tank (Fig.
33).
(c) If equipped with 35 gallon fuel tank, two
EVAP lines are connected to the fuel tank check
valves. Disconnect EVAP lines from check valves at
top-front and top-rear of fuel tank (Fig. 35).
(d) Disconnect fuel supply line at fuel filter/fuel
pressure regulator supply fitting (Fig. 33) or (Fig.
34). Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings for proce-
dures.
(13)Diesel Powered Engines:
(a) While working over left rear tire/wheel, dis-
connect wiring harness connector from electrical
connector at top of fuel tank module (Fig. 36).
(b) Disconnect fuel supply and fuel return lines
at the fuel tank module fittings (Fig. 36). Refer to
Quick-Connect Fittings for procedures.
(14) Gasoline Engines: If fuel pump module
removal is necessary, refer to Fuel Pump Module
Removal/Installation in this group. Diesel Engines: If
fuel tank module removal is necessary, refer to Fuel

FUEL TANK CHECK VALVE
DESCRIPTION
Diesel Powered Engine:One fuel tank check
valve is used. The check valve is located on the top of
the fuel tank module (Fig. 37). The valve may be ser-
viced separately.
Gasoline Powered Engines:If equipped with a
26 or 34 gallon fuel tank, two check valves are used.
One of the valves is permanently mounted to the top
of fuel tank (Fig. 38). If replacement of this particu-
lar valve is necessary, the fuel tank must be
replaced. The other check valve is located on the top
of the fuel pump module (Fig. 38). This valve may be
serviced separately. If replacement is necessary, refer
to the Removal/Installation section of this group.
If equipped with a 35 gallon fuel tank, two check
valves are used. Both valves are permanently
mounted to the top of fuel tank (Fig. 39). If replace-
ment is necessary, the fuel tank must be replaced.
