FUEL PUMP MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump module is installed in the top of the
fuel tank (Fig. 10). The pump module contains the
following components:
²Electric fuel pump (transfer, or lift pump)
²Fuel reservoir
²Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
²Fuel supply line connection
²Fuel return line connectionFuel is supplied to the high-pressure fuel injection
pump by the low-pressure fuel transfer (lift) pump.
This electric fuel pump is attached to the fuel pump
module and supplies approximately 165 liters/hour
(43.6 gallons/hour). A low-pressure fuel pump is not
attached to the engine.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the float rod, the
float and float rod must be removed from the pump
module. This step must be done before the pump
module is removed from the fuel tank.
(1) Drain and remove fuel tank. Refer to Fuel
Tank Removal/Installation.
(2) Thoroughly clean area around pump module at
top of tank.
(3) Disconnect all fuel lines from pump module fit-
tings.
(4) The plastic fuel pump module locknut (lock-
ring) is threaded onto fuel tank. Install Special Tool
#6856 to locknut and remove locknut (Fig. 11). The
fuel pump module will spring up slightly after lock-
nut is removed.

FUEL QUANTITY CONTROL
VA LV E
DESCRIPTION
The fuel quantity control valve mounts to front of
the high pressure pump and is controlled by the
ECM. The quantity control valve assists in maintain-
ing proper fuel quantity injected under all operating
conditions. Fuel tank heat protection is also provided
by the quantity control valve. The valve meters the
exact amount of fuel to prevent excess heated fuel
from returning to the tank.
OPERATION
The ECM monitors the fuel system and measures
for pressure vibrations. The ECM will then send a
pulse width signal to the quantity control valve to
regulate the amount of fuel to the high pressure
pump plunger and barrel assemblies. The valve then
adjusts the injection correction quantity for each
individual cylinder in line with the firing order, there
by eliminating the pressure resonance in the fuel rail
and improving each independent injectors operation.
The fuel quantity valve also interrupts the fuel sup-
ply to the high pressure pump plunger and barrel
assemblies when the engine is switched off.
The ECM detects the operating state which exists
at the engine by means of the sensors. In order to
adapt the quantity injected, either the rail pressure
can be adjusted by way of the pressure regulator
valve and the quantity control valve, or the actuationtime of the solenoid valves in the fuel injectors can
be extended or shortened.
Fuel quantity control is performed under the fol-
lowing operating conditions:
²Approximately 30 seconds after the engine has
started
²Fuel temperature > 20ÉC (68ÉF)
²Engine not in deceleration mode
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative battery cable.
(2) Disconnect the control valve wiring harness
connector (Fig. 18).
(3) Remove the valve fasteners and remove the
control valve (Fig. 18).
INSTALLATION
(1) Clean sealing surfaces.
(2) Install new seal on sensor.
(3) Position the control valve on to the high pres-
sure pump and install fasteners (Fig. 19).
(4) Connect wiring harness connector to control
valve (Fig. 19).
(5) Connect negative battery cable.
(6) Start the engine, allow to run, turn engine off
and inspect for leaks (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/
FUEL INJECTION - WARNING).

FUEL RAIL
DESCRIPTION
The fuel rail acts like a high pressure store. It is
available to all injectors for drawing fuel which has
been compressed by the high pressure injection
pump. The rail pressure sensor, rail pressure control
valve, high pressure line, and the return flow line
are attached to the fuel rail.
OPERATION
The stored fuel volume inside the rail acts as a
damper for pressure fluctuations which result
because of pulsating supply and brief large extrac-
tions of fuel during injector firing. The rail primarily
influences the atomization of fuel at the injector noz-
zle, and the accuracy of injected quantity during
injection.
REMOVAL
(Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM - WARNING).
WARNING: NO SPARKS, OPEN FLAMES OR SMOK-
ING. RISK OF POISONING FROM INHALING AND
SWALLOWING FUEL. RISK OF INJURY TO EYES
AND SKIN FROM CONTACT WITH FUEL. POUR
FUELS ONLY INTO SUITABLE AND APPROPRI-
ATELY MARKED CONTAINERS. WEAR PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING.

(2) Remove the engine cover.
(3) Disconnect the intake manifold air inlet duct
and position aside.

unclip the engine harness from the fuel rail.
(6) Remove injector high pressure lines (Fig. 19)
(7) Remove fuel rail retaining bolts (Fig. 19).
CAUTION: When slackening and tightening fuel
injection line union nuts, counter hold with wrench
at threaded connection. ON NO ACCOUNT exceed
the tightening torque at any time. Do NOT crimp or
bend lines.
NOTE: After removing lines, seal connections and
ensure cleanliness.(8) Detach fuel return flow line to high pressure

rail to 22 N´m (195 in. lbs.).
(8) Reconnect engine harness electrical connectors.
(9) Connect the intake manifold air inlet duct.
(10) Connect negative battery cable.
CAUTION: Care must be taken when installing the
engine cover. Assure the proper routing of the fuel
injector return fuel hose to the banjo bolt fitting in
the left rear corner of the cover. Failure to do so
may pinch or damage the hose causing fuel leakage
or a driveability concern.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING. DO NOT STAND IN A
DIRECT LINE WITH FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR
HANDS NEAR PULLEYS, BELTS OR FAN. DO NOT
WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
(11) Start engine, run for a few minutes, turn the
engine off and inspect for leaks (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM - WARNING).
FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
The plastic fuel tank (Fig. 20) is mounted to the
frame rails under the left/center side of the vehicle.
The fuel tank contains a serviceable fuel pump mod-
ule with an electric fuel pump, and a fuel level send-
ing unit. The tank is also equipped with 2 fuel lines:
a fuel supply line to the fuel pump, and a separate
fuel return line.
Fuel Temperature Control:A section of the fuel
return line is coiled at the rear section of the tank
(Fig. 21). This coiled section is used to help drop the
temperature of fuel returning to the tank. A thermo-
stat (preheating valve) (3) (Fig. 21) is used to keep
fuel temperature below 167 degrees F. If fuel temper-
ature is above 167 degrees F, fuel passes first
through the coiled cooler lines, and then into the fuel
tank. If fuel temperature is below 150 degrees F, fuel
bypasses the coiled cooler lines, and is returned
directly into the fuel tank.
An electric fuel pump (more commonly referred to
in diesel applications as a fuel transfer pump or fuel
lift pump) is attached to the fuel pump module. Thismodule (Fig. 22) is located in the fuel tank. Refer to
Fuel Pump Module for additional information.
