F 350 2WD Super Duty V8-5.4L (2008)
Removal and Installation
WARNING:
-
Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly
flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
-
Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental
spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
-
Fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and fine clearances. It is therefore essential that absolute cleanliness
is observed when working with these components. Always install blanking plugs to any open orifices or tubes.
-
When reusing liquid or vapor tube connectors, make sure to use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector
retaining clip area before separating from the tube.
1. Release the fuel system pressure.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Remove the air cleaner outlet tube.
4. Disconnect the quick connect couplings and remove the crankcase vent tube.
5. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the air cleaner outlet pipe-to-throttle body (TB) adapter and position aside.
6. Disconnect the wiring harness retainer from the air cleaner outlet pipe-to-TB adapter.
7. Remove the 4 air cleaner outlet pipe-to-TB adapter bolts.
