Removal
1. For 2017 models, disconnect the fuel
line quick connect coupling from the in
tank fuel pump. For 2018 models and
later, skip this step but insure that the
fuel filler cap is closed before draining
the filter. Failure to close the fill cap
results in the siphoning of the entire
fuel tank contents when you open the
drain screw.
2. Locate your filter. 3. Drain the diesel fuel conditioner
module. Turn the drain plug
counterclockwise until it stops. Do not
use any tools to loosen the drain plug.
Drain the filter, approximately 0.53 gal
(2 L), into an appropriate container.
Do not re-use the fuel drained from the
module. 4. Disconnect the electrical connector.
5. Fully loosen the bolts securing the
lower portion of the diesel fuel
conditioner module housing.
Note: Do not fully remove the bolts from
the lower portion of the diesel fuel
conditioner module housing.
6. Remove the lower portion of the diesel
fuel conditioner module housing.

until it stops and you feel a strong
resistance. Do not use any tools to
tighten the drain plug.
Engine-mounted Fuel Filter
Although the fuel system is not fully
pressurized when the vehicle is off, some
residual pressure may remain in the fuel
system since it can take some time for the
pressure to completely bleed off.
Therefore, we recommend you place an
absorbent cloth below the filter connectors
to absorb any fuel that may drain. The engine-mounted fuel filter is a plastic
disposable cartridge.
Removal
1.
Disconnect the fuel lines by squeezing
the connector tabs and pulling the lines
straight off. 2.
Rotate the filter fully counterclockwise
until the peg is at the far end of the slot.
3. Pull the filter straight up from the bracket and discard the filter.
