FUEL SYSTEM
Fuel Filter Replacement Procedure
1. Remove the fuel filter by turning it counterclockwise
with a filter wrench.
Filter Wrench: 5-8840-0253-0 (J-22700)
Note:
Be careful not to spill the fuel in the filter cartridge.
RTW46ASH000501
2. Clean the fuel filter cartridge fitting faces.
This will allow the new fuel filter to seat properly
3. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the O-ring.
4. Turn in the fuel filter until the sealing face comes in
contact with the O-ring.
5. Turn in the fuel filter an additional 2/3 of a turn with a
filter wrench.
Filter Wrench : 5-8840-0253-0 (J-22700)
6. Operate the priming pump until the air discharged
completely from fuel system.
7. Start the engine and check for fuel leakage.
Note:
The use of an ISUZU genuine fuel filter is strongly
recommended.

Draining Procedure
The indicator light will come on when the water level in the
water separator exceeds the specified level.
Drain the water and foreign material from the water
separator (inside chassis frame) with the following
procedure.
1. Place the drain pan under the drain plug.
2. Loosen the drain plug and drain water.
3. After draining the water, tighten the drain plug.
4. Operate the priming pump on the fuel filter several
times and check for fuel leakage.
5. Check the water separator indicator light. It should be
off.
Except EURO III model

Air Bleeding
1. Operate the priming pump until strong resistance is
felt.
2. Wait 1 minute, and operate the priming pump until
strong resistance is felt.
3. Once more wait, and operate the priming pump until
strong resistance is felt.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Wait until
the glow indicator lamp turns off.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the "START" position and
crank the engine until it starts.
6. If the engine does not start, repeat Step 3 - 5.
7. Allow the engine to idle for 3 minutes to bleed air
completely form the fuel system and check for fuel
leakage.
Note:
Insufficient air bleeding may cause the Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) store or improper engine
performance.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RTW46AMF000401
The 4J series automotive diesel engine has special designed combustion chambers in the piston. This design
provides superior fuel economy over a wide range of driving conditions.
Auto-thermatic pistons with cast steel struts are used to reduce thermal expansion and resulting engine noise when
the engine is cold.
Chrome plated dry type cylinder liners provide the highest durability.
The laminated steel sheet cylinder head gasket is very durable and, to increase the head gasket reliability.
The crankshaft has been tufftrided to provide a longer service life. Because the crankshaft is tufftrided, it cannot be
reground.
The 4JA1T(L) engine is equipped with the BOSCH VE-Type distributor injection pump.
The 4JH1TC and 4JA1TC engine is equipped with the BOSCH VP44-Type distributor injection pump.
The engine is turbocharger equipped.
