INSTALLATION:
CAUTION: Care should be taken not to fold over or twist the fuel pump filter when installing the fuel level meter assembly as this will restrict fuel
flow. Also, assure that the fuel pump filter does not block full travel of the float arm. Position the filter as shown in the illustration.
1.
Position a new O-ring on the fuel tank.

Install the fuel level meter assembly and fuel level meter assembly retainer cam using tool J 24187 or equivalent.
NOTE: Assure proper location of the fuel meter tubes and rubber line insulator.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:
^
Before connecting fuel line fittings, always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male tube ends. This will ensure proper
reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and
may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated).
