Pump, Fuel Injection: Installation: Installation
Observe the following precautions when working on fuel systems: No sparks, open flames or smoking. Avoid inhaling and swallowing fuel. Avoid eye and skin contact with fuel. Pour fuels only into suitable and appropriately marked containers. Wear protective clothing. Failure to observe these precautions may result in fire, explosion, property damage, and serious or fatal injury.
High pressure fuel lines deliver diesel fuel under extreme pressure from the injection pump to the fuel rail and from the fuel rail to the fuel injectors. This pressure may be as high as 1600 bar (23, 203 psi). Use extreme caution when inspecting for high pressure fuel leaks. Fuel under this amount of pressure can penetrate skin causing personal injury or death. Inspect for high pressure fuel leaks with a sheet of cardboard. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing when servicing the high pressure circuits of the fuel system.
Cranking the engine for an extended time without a fuel supply may damage the fuel injection pressure pump.
The fuel injection pressure pump must not be disassembled or opened. The only serviceable items are the sprocket and the fuel quantity solenoid.
- If removed, clean sealing surfaces and Install new O-ring seals onto the fuel quantity solenoid (1).
- If removed, install the fuel quantity solenoid (1) and securely tighten fasteners (2).
- Position the fuel injection pump to the back of the support with the pump shaft inserted through the drive sprocket and the pump housing engaged over the mounting studs on the support.
- Install the (Pump Rotation) (special tool #20150, Remover/Installer, High Pressure Fuel Pump) Tool (1) onto the threaded end of the pump shaft enough to align the pin in the pump shaft with the keyway in the hub of the drive sprocket and tighten finger tight.
- Install the three nuts (1) securing the fuel injection pump (2) and tighten to 25 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
- Remove the (Pump Rotation) (special tool #20150, Remover/Installer, High Pressure Fuel Pump) Tool (1) from the threaded end of the pump shaft.
- Install the nut (1) securing the sprocket to the fuel injection pump and tighten to 50 N.m (37 ft. lbs.).
- Remove the (special tool #20150, Remover/Installer, High Pressure Fuel Pump) (2).
- Install the coolant manifold (1) at intake manifold.
- Install the fuel return manifold (1) and securely tighten bolts (2).
- Connect the fuel return hose (3) to the fuel injection pump and tighten clamp.
- Connect the fuel injector return line to the fuel return manifold.
- Install the fuel injection pump guard (2) and securely tighten bolts (1).
- Attach the fuel supply line to the retainer clip.
- Connect the fuel supply (2) line quick-connect fitting.
- Install the fuel filter protective shield (1). Tighten bolts (2) to 6 N.m (53 in. lbs.).

NOTE:High pressure fuel tubes from the fuel injection pressure pump to the fuel rail or from the fuel rail to the fuel injector must be replaced with new units if removed.
- Install new fuel tube (2) between the fuel injection pump (3) and the fuel rail (1). Tighten the union nuts to:
- Step 1 Tighten the union nut (1) at fuel rail to 20 N.m (177 in. lbs.).
- Step 2 Using a wrench to counter hold fitting, tighten union nut (3) at the fuel injection pump to 24 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
- Install the upper timing cover. Refer to COVER(S), ENGINE TIMING, INSTALLATION or COVER(S), ENGINE TIMING, INSTALLATION .
