NOTE
HEAT SHRINK TUBING MUST BE USED OVER ALL SOLDERED CONNECTIONS MADE PER THIS TSB. USE SUFFICIENT TUBING
(ABOUT 50 mm (2 ")) OF THE SPECIFIED TYPE TO ENTIRELY COVER EACH SOLDERED CONNECTION AND SHRINK
APPROPRIATELY TO PREVENT EXPOSURE OF THE CONNECTIONS.
NOTE
FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY LONG FUEL PUMP GROUND WIRE CIRCUITS, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO SHORTEN
THE GROUND WIRE TO A POINT CLOSE TO THE FUEL TANK. IF THE GROUND IS MOVED, BE SURE IT IS SECURE AND
PROTECTED FROM CORROSION SINCE IT IS THE OPERATING GROUND FOR THE PUMP. CHECK SERVICE LITERATURE (EVTM,
ETC.) FOR GROUND LOCATIONS.
WARNING
ALL SOLDERING AND HEAT SHRINKING MUST BE COMPLETED AWAY FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA. USE A SOLDERING IRON
ONLY FOR SOLDERING AND HEAT GUN ONLY FOR APPLYING SHRINK TUBING.
4.
Secure the RFI filter to the fuel pump and sender assembly with a Bundling Strap (95873-S101) to prevent rattling in the tank, Figures 1 and 2.
5.
Reinstall the fuel pump sender assembly into the fuel tank.
CAUTION
INSTALL NEW GASKETS WHEN REINSTALLING SENDER TO PREVENT LEAKS. REFER TO THE PARTS CATALOG FOR PROPER
APPLICATIONS.
6.
Check the appropriate Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual (EVTM) (or other service literature) for the location of the fuel pump
ground. If ground is more than 0.9m (3 ') from the tank, cut wire and ground fuel pump end within 0.9m (3 ') of the tank to prevent ground wire
from acting as an antenna. Be sure ground is secure and protected from corrosion since it is the operating ground for the fuel pump.
7.
Install the fuel tank in the vehicle as outlined in the appropriate Service or Workshop Manual.
