WITH THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ON THE FUEL RAIL SHOULD BE APPROVED FOR THE RFI FILTER INSTALLATION.

SOME LIGHT TRUCKS REQUIRE ONE (1) RFI FILTER FOR EACH IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP ON MULTI-TANK VEHICLES.
NOTE
THIS TSB DOES NOT INCLUDE TAURUS FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES (FFVS) OR 1999 RANGER 3.0L FFVS.
TEST PROCEDURE
Fuel pump radio noise is relatively constant and changes only slightly with vehicle speed. If the frequency of the noise varies or the noise comes and
goes with the vehicle speed, then it is not the fuel pump and this fix will not be effective. The following procedure will help determine if the fuel pump is
the cause of the radio noise:
1.
Turn on the radio before the key is turned on (assuming the radio will operate without the ignition key - you may need to put the ignition key in the
Accessory position).
2.
Turn the ignition key to the Run position (do not start the engine).
3.
The fuel pump should run for about 1 second with the key in the Run position with the engine not running. Listen for noise in the radio. If noise is
present while the pump is running and stops when the pump stops, then the noise is being generated by the pump and this procedure should help.
