FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS)(H4DOTC DIESEL) > Fuel Filter Assembly

INSPECTION

1. FUEL HEATER

1. Set a tester between connector terminals of fuel heater.

2. Connect the Mighty Vac to the discharge side, plug the intake side and measure the resistance when vacuum pressure is applied.

Standard:

Vacuum pressure

Resistance

At 29.3 — 40.0 kPa (220 — 300 mmHg)

Approx. 0.5 Ω

2. SEDIMENTOR LEVEL SWITCH

Measure the resistance between sedimentor level switch connector terminals.

Standard:

Float position

Resistance

Float upper limit

Less than 1 Ω

Float lower limit

1 MΩ or more

(A)

Float upper limit

(B)

Float lower limit

   

3. PRIMING PUMP

1. Attach a hose with a φ9 inner diameter.

2. Set the priming pump at a position 1 m (3.3 ft) above the surface of the fuel.

3. Pump the priming pump until the hose and priming pump are completely filled with fuel.

4. Pump the priming pump 10 times and check that the discharge amount is 70 ml (2.4 US fl oz, 2.5 Imp fl oz) or more.

If it is less than 70 ml (2.4 US fl oz, 2.5 Imp fl oz), replace the priming pump.

(A)

1 m (3.3 ft)

       

4. FUEL FILTER

1. Disconnect the fuel hoses.

2. Pump the priming pump 10 times and check that the discharge amount is 70 ml (2.4 US fl oz, 2.5 Imp fl oz) or more.

If it is less than 70 ml (2.4 US fl oz, 2.5 Imp fl oz) and checking the priming pump unit shows no malfunction, replace the fuel filter.

5. WATER DRAINING PROCEDURE

If the sedimentor warning light illuminates, perform the following procedures to drain water.

1. Disconnect the ground cable from battery.

2. Disconnect the fuel hoses from the clamps.

3. Disconnect the harness connector of the fuel filter assembly.

4. Remove the mounting nuts of the fuel filter assembly.

5. Lift up the fuel filter assembly making sure that it does not tilt.

6. Connect a hose to the drain plug, and loosen the drain plug to drain the water.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to spill.

• Drain the discharged water into a suitable container.

7. Tighten the drain plug.

8. Install the fuel filter assembly.

Tightening torque:

18 N·m (1.8 kgf-m, 13.3 ft-lb)

9. Connect the harness connector of the fuel filter assembly.

10. Attach the clamps to the fuel hoses.

11. Pump the priming pump on top of the fuel filter assembly to fill the fuel system with fuel.

NOTE:

Pump the priming pump until it is stiff.

12. Connect the ground cable to battery.

13. Make sure that the sedimentor warning light has gone out.

6. OTHER INSPECTIONS

1. Check the fuel hose and fuel filter assembly for deformation, cracks and damage.

2. Check there is no leakage from the connection of fuel hose and the part.
