NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


------ WARNING! ------

Do not open the high pressure fuel system without allowing the fuel system to purge. After the engine has shut down, allow the fuel system to purge for ten minutes. This operating fuel system contains high pressure. Exposure to high pressure fuel can result in personal injury.


Note: Use Tooling (A) to cap tube assemblies, fittings, ports, and any opening in the fuel system in order to prevent contamination.

Note: Do not remove all the quills in order to maintain the alignment of the rail. Maintain at least two quills attached to the rail at all times. If necessary, replace with new quill.

  3. Install the new O-ring seals. Lubricate the ends of tube assembly (8) and the O-ring seals with clean engine oil. Install new bolts (9) and the washers. Evenly hand tighten new bolts (9) in order to assemble tube assembly (8) and the O-ring seals. To prevent cutting or damage of the O-ring seal. Install tube assembly (7). Install bolts (10) and (11) hand tight. Evenly tighten new bolts (9) to a torque of 20 N·m (15 lb ft).

    Note: New bolts (9) do not rotate more than 90 degrees at a time.

  4. Evenly tighten new bolts (9) to a torque of 40 N·m (30 lb ft).

    Note: New bolts (9) do not rotate more than 45 degrees at a time.

  5. Tighten bolts (10) and (11) to a torque of 40 ± 10 N·m (30 ± 7 lb ft).

    Note: If necessary, secondary fuel filter lines may need installed after tube assembly (2) has been installed. Do not attempt to push the flanges past O-ring seals by hand in order to prevent cutting or damage.

  6. Install the new O-ring seals into the pump outlet, the inlet, and the junction block. Lubricate O-ring seals and the end of tube assemblies (2) and (4) with clean engine oil. Install new bolts (5) and washers. Evenly hand tighten new bolts (5) in order to engage tube assemblies (2) and (4) with the O-ring seals. To prevent or damage of the O-ring seal. Position bolts (6) and tighten by hand. Evenly hand tighten bolts (5). Evenly tighten bolts (6) to a torque of 20 N·m (15 lb ft). Evenly tighten new bolts (5) to a torque of 20 N·m (15 lb ft). Evenly tighten bolts (6) to a final torque of 55 ± 10 N·m (41 ± 7 lb ft). Evenly tighten bolts (5) to a final torque of 40± 10 N·m (30± 7 lb ft).

    Note: The bolts in tube assembly (2) do not rotate more than 90 degrees at a time.

  7. Evenly tighten the bolts in tube assembly (2) to a torque of 40 N·m (30 lb ft).

    Note: The bolts in tube assembly (2) do not rotate more than 45 degrees at a time.
