  3. Position fuel injection line support bracket (7) onto the fuel rail. Install remaining bolt (3). Install bolt (2) for injection line support bracket (7) finger tight.

  4. Install a new set of seals and a new set of fuel injection lines. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Fuel Injection Lines - Install" for the correct procedure.

  5. Tighten bolts (3) to a torque of 22 N·m (195 lb in).

  6. Tighten bolts (2) to a torque of 9 N·m (80 lb in).

  7. Remove the plug from plastic tube assembly (1). Connect plastic tube assembly (1) to the fuel pressure relief valve.

  8. Connect harness assembly (6) to fuel pressure sensor (5).

  9. Replace the filters for primary fuel system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System Primary (Water Separator) Element - Replace" for the correct procedure.

  10. Replace the filters for secondary fuel system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System Secondary Filter - Replace" for the correct procedure.

  11. Remove the air from the fuel system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel System - Prime" for more information.

End By:
