Issue:
Some 2002 MY X-TYPE vehicles within the above VIN range, may experience a customer complaint of running out of fuel while the message center
still indicates range available.
Action
To eliminate this concern, remove the fuel transfer pump module and modify the fuel return transfer pipe. On a customer complaint basis only, follow the
workshop procedure outlined below.
WORKSHOP PROCEDURE
1.
* Remove the fuel transfer pump assembly (see Workshop Manual, JTIS CD ROM section: 310-01, SRO 19.45.21).*
2.
For access, reposition the return transfer pipe away from the fuel tank opening (return transfer pipe has a yellow release latch).
3.
Using a 2 mm drill bit, by hand, drill a hole 3 mm to 5 mm from the shoulder (convoluted pipe side) in the return transfer pipe and remove any
swarf (Illustration 1).
4.
Install a new transfer pump 0-ring seal.
