INSTALLATION

Refer to maintenance schedules for recommended fuel filter replacement intervals.

1. FUEL FILTER:
2. Lubricate new fuel filter O-ring with clean engine oil.
3. Position new fuel filter/canister assembly (7) to housing.
4. Rotate fuel filter/canister assembly until it comes to a hard stop.
5. Tighten the filter element an additional half-inch of rotation.
6. Connect WIF sensor electrical connector (4).
7. Be sure drain valve (6) is tight.
8. Install left front tire/wheel.
9. Install left front wheel splash shield.
10. FUEL HEATER ELEMENT OR FUEL TEMPERATURE SENSOR:

Both the fuel heater element and fuel temperature sensor are attached to the fuel filter housing. To replace either of these components, the entire housing assembly must be replaced.

11. Position housing/canister assembly to body.

12. Install three housing mounting nuts (3).
13. Connect two quick-connect fittings (1) and (2) to housing fittings.

14. Connect electrical connectors (2), (3) and (4).
15. WATER-IN-FUEL (WIF) SENSOR REPLACEMENT: The combination fuel drain valve/WIF sensor is located on the bottom of the fuel filter housing.

The WIF sensor is not a separately serviceable item. If diagnostics have led you to replace this sensor, then the whole fuel filter assembly needs to be changed.
