DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank is similar to the tank used with gasoline powered models. The tank is equipped with a separate fuel
return line and a different fuel tank module for diesel powered models. Theelectric fuel transfer pump (lift pump) is
attached to the fuel pump module. Refer to Fuel Tank Module for additional information.

MODULE - FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
.
The fuel tank module is installed in the top of the fuel tank. The fuel tank module contains the following compo-
nents:
An electric fuel transfer (lift) pump
Fuel reservoir
A separate in-tank fuel filter
Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
Fuel supply line connection
A special lockring to retain module to fuel tank
Fuel return line connection
OPERATION
Refer to Fuel Gauge Sending Unit.
REMOVAL
1. Drain and remove fuel tank (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK -
REMOVAL).
2. Note rotational position of module before attempt-
ing removal. An indexing arrow is located on top of
module for this purpose.
3. Position Special Tool 9340 (3) into notches on out-
side edge of lockring (5).
4. Install 1/2 inch drive breaker bar (1) to tool 9340
(3).
5. Rotate breaker bar counterclockwise to remove
lockring.
6. Remove lockring. The module will spring up slightly
when lockring is removed.
7. Remove module from fuel tank. Be careful not to
bend float arm while removing.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Whenever the fuel pump module is serviced, the rubber seal (gasket) must be replaced.
Page 2372 of 5267
1. Using a new seal (gasket), position fuel pump mod-
uleintoopeninginfueltank.
2. Position lockring (5) over top of fuel pump module.
3. Rotate module until embossed alignment arrow
points to center alignment mark. This step must be
performed to prevent float from contacting side of
fuel tank. Also be sure fuel fitting on top of pump
module is pointed to drivers side of vehicle.
4. Install Special Tool 9340 (3) to lockring.
5. Install 1/2 inch drive breaker (1) into Special Tool
9340 (3).
6. Tighten lockring (clockwise) until all seven notches
have engaged.
7. Install fuel tank (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/
FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK - INSTALLATION).

PUMP - FUEL TRANSFER
DESCRIPTION
The fuel transfer pump (fuel lift pump) is part of the fuel pump module. The fuel pump module is located in the fuel
tank. The 12–volt electric pump is operated and controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM controls
a relay in the Intelligent Power Module(IPM) for transfer pump operation.
OPERATION
The purpose of the fuel transfer pump is to supply (transfer) a low-pressure fuel source:fromthe fuel tank,through
the fuel filter/water separator andtothe fuel injection pump. Here, the low-pressure is raised to a high-pressure by
the fuel injection pump for operation of the high-pressure fuel injectors. Check valves within the pump, control direc-
tion of fuel flow and prevent fuel bleed-back during engine shut down.
Maximum current flow to the pump is 5 amperes.
With the engine running, the pump has a 100 percent duty-cycle.
The transfer pump is self-priming: When the key is first turned on (withoutcranking engine), the pump will operate
for approximately 2 seconds and then shut off (Note: When ambient temperatures are cold enough to cause the
intake air heaters to operate, the fuel lift pump will operate during the entire intake air pre-heat cycle). The pump will
also operate for up to 25 seconds after the starter is engaged, and then disengaged and the engine is not running.
The pump shuts off immediately if the key is on and the engine stops running.
The fuel volume of the transfer pump will always provide more fuel than the fuel injection pump requires. Excess
fuel is returned from the injection pump through an overflow valve, and then back to the fuel tank.
REMOVAL
The fuel transfer pump (fuel lift pump) is a part of the fuel tank module. It is not serviced separately. Refer to Fuel
Tank Module Removal or Installation for procedures (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK
MODULE - REMOVAL).
INSTALLATION
The fuel transfer pump (fuel lift pump) is a part of the fuel tank module. It is not serviced separately (Refer to 14 -
FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK MODULE - INSTALLATION).

VALVE - CASCADE OVERFLOW
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The cascade overflow valve is not serviced separately.
Thecascadeoverflowvalve(4)islocatedonthetop/
rear side of the fuel injection pump.
OPERATION
When the fuel control actuator (FCA) is opened, the maximum amount of fuel is being delivered to the fuel injection
pump. The cascade valve regulates how much excess fuel is used for lubrication of the injection pump, and is also
used to route excess fuel through the drain circuit and back into the fuel tank.

SENSOR-WATER IN FUEL
DESCRIPTION
The Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor (5) is located on the
side of the fuel filter/water separator canister.
OPERATION
The sensor sends an input to the Engine Control Module (ECM) when it senses water in the fuel filter/water sep-
arator. As the water level in the filter/separator increases, the resistance across the WIF sensor decreases. This
decreaseinresistanceissentasasignaltotheECMandcomparedtoahighwater standard value. Once the value
reaches 30 to 40 kilohms, the ECM will activate the water-in-fuel warning lamp through CCD bus circuits. This all
takes place when the ignition key is initially put in the ON position. The ECM continues to monitor the input while
the engine is running.
REMOVAL
The Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor is located at the side of fuel filter/waterseparator canister. (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK MODULE - INSTALLATION).

CIRCUIT - FUEL DRAIN
OPERATION
The Fuel Drain Circuit incorporates several sources of fuel return. Fuel travels from the fuel tank (via the fuel trans-
fer pump) and is forced through the fuel filter. This fuel then travels intothe fuel injection pump. It then goes to a
fuel drain line and returns back to the fuel tank.
The fuel that flows to the fuel pump is pressurized by a gear pump and internally transferred to the fuel injection
pump. At this point the fuel is channeled into two passages. One passage sends fuel to the FCA (Fuel Control
Actuator). The other passage sends fuel to the cascade overflow valve. Theoverflow valve sends some fuel to a
lubrication passage. The rest of the fuel is sent to a drain passage which connects to an external fuel line.
Fuel that travels through the FCA is pressurized by the fuel injection pumpand sent through an external high pres-
sure fuel line to the fuel rail. At the fuel rail, fuel is sent to the fuel injectors. If fuel pressure in the fuel rail becomes
excessive, the pressure limiting valve opens and sends fuel through an external fuel line.
At the fuel injector, fuel that is not injected is used for lubrication of the fuel injectors. This fuel then travels through
an internal passage that is connected to the rear of the cylinder head, an then into an external fuel line. This line is
connected to the vehicles fuel return line, and returns excess fuel back and into the fuel tank.
