REMOVAL

WARNING:
- The fuel system will remain pressurized after engine shutdown. This pressure must be relieved before servicing any part of fuel system, or personal injury or property damage can result.
- Eye protection is required when removing or installing fuel system components to avoid possible injury.

1. Carry out the Pressure Relief-Fuel System.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Remove the four screws from the protective boot and position aside.







4. Using a backup wrench, remove the fuel tube nut fitting from the fuel filler valve.







5. Remove the bolts and the fuel filler valve.

INSTALLATION


1. NOTE:
- Install new fuel system O-ring seals with approved O-ring seals only. O-ring seals that are approved for natural gas use are identified with a yellow stripe.
- Lubricate the fuel system O-ring seals with clean engine oil prior to installation to help seal and ease the installation.
- When tightening the fuel tubes, a torque wrench adapter must be used with the torque wrench. The use of a torque wrench adapter will alter the effective torque of the torque wrench being used. To correct the effective torque, a torque multiplication conversion must be used.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.

2. Pressurize the fuel system.
1 Turn the jack screws counterclockwise until resistance is felt.
2 Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
