B3000 SE Regular Cab 4WD V6-3.0L OHV (1998)
Heat shrink tubing must be used over all solder connections; covering the entire soldered area to prevent exposure.
WARNING:
All soldering and heat shrinking steps should be performed AWAY from the fuel tank area.
6.
Connect the RFI filter connectors to the spade terminals on the fuel pump.
NOTE:
If RFI connectors do not fit to spade connectors on fuel pump; cut the connectors from the RFI filter and cut the fuel pump wires 1" (25 mm)
above the pump wire connectors. Solder both the red and black wires from the RFI Filter to the red and black fuel pump wires.
7.
Secure the RFI filter to the fuel pump assembly with a plastic tie-wrap to prevent rattling.
8.
Install fuel pump assembly into fuel tank. Refer to Section 01-14 for installation procedures.
NOTE:
Do not reuse the fuel pump gasket, replace with a new gasket prior to reassembly.
9.
Verify that the noise is reduced by using the testing procedure in (STEP 1).
^
If noise has been reduced, return vehicle to the customer.
^
If noise has not been reduced, proceed to (STEP 10).
10.
Locate fuel pump ground wire (black) in the wiring harness on the left frame rail.
11.
Locate one (1) unused 12 mm hole in the left side frame rail between the fuel pump and the fuel filter.
12.
Clean and remove some of the finish in this area to ensure a good metal-to-metal electrical connection.
13.
Cut the fuel pump ground wire to prevent it from acting as an antenna.
^
1991-94 Navajo and 1994 B-Series-) Cut the fuel pump ground as close to the 12 mm frame rail hole as possible.
^

sealant to prevent water from entering.
^
1998-99 B-Series -) Cut the fuel pump ground wire just before the X-304 connector. Seal the back of the X304 connector with silicone sealant
to prevent water from entering.
14.
Attach an eyelet connector to the fuel pump side of the ground wire and secure the wire to the frame rail with a bolt, nut and washer, at the 12 mm
hole.
15.
Cover the ground with rust-proofing paint to prevent corrosion.
NOTE:
Corrosion protection is important since this wire is the operating ground for the fuel pump.
16.
Verify repair.
