Installation (Dakota)
- Ensure sealing area on fuel tank is clean. Using NEW rubber gasket, install fuel pump module on fuel tank. DO NOT reuse rubber gasket. Ensure rubber gasket remains in place.NOTE: Fuel pump module must be properly positioned in fuel tank to prevent float from contacting fuel tank.
- On 2-door models, rotate fuel pump module so alignment arrow on fuel pump module is at 7 o'clock position and aligns with reference marks on fuel tank. See Fig 2. On 4-door models, rotate fuel pump module so alignment arrow on fuel pump module is at 4 o'clock position and aligns with similar reference marks on fuel tank. On all models, install and hand tighten fuel pump module lock nut.
- Note location of fuel pressure regulator on fuel pump module. See Figure. Ensure fuel filter/pressure regulator is positioned on fuel pump module so fuel line fitting on side fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator points toward driver's side of vehicle.
- Hold fuel pump module in place while tightening fuel pump module lock nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Reinstall fuel tank using proper procedure.
