Removal (Durango)

  1. Fuel tank may be drained by removing vent hose from rear of fuel tank, or by pumping fuel from fuel tank using the fuel pump if fuel pump is operating. If removing vent hose from fuel tank to drain the fuel, go to step  4. If using fuel pump to drain the fuel tank, go to next step.
  2. Disconnect fuel line from fuel rail. See FUEL LINE AT FUEL RAIL  under FUEL SYSTEM. Connect Fuel Hose (6541, 6539, 6631 or 6923) for proper engine application at fuel line fitting on fuel rail. Place remaining end of fuel hose in an approved gasoline container.
  3. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is a 16-pin connector attached to bottom of driver's side of the instrument panel, just to the right of the brake pedal. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, activate the fuel pump and pump fuel from fuel tank. Once fuel tank is empty, remove scan tool. Reinstall fuel line on fuel rail using proper procedure. Go to step  5.
  4. Release fuel pressure from fuel system. See FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE . Ensure negative battery cable is disconnected. Remove fuel tank cap to release any residual fuel tank pressure.
  5. Raise and support vehicle. Remove necessary skid plates for access to fuel tank. Disconnect vent and filler hose from rear of fuel tank. If fuel tank was not previously drained, place drain hose in vent hose fitting at rear of fuel tank. Drain fuel from fuel tank into an approved gasoline container.
  6. Support fuel tank with transmission jack. Remove fuel tank strap retaining nuts. Position fuel tank straps toward outside of vehicle. Slightly lower fuel tank. Ensure rear of fuel tank is higher than front of fuel tank to prevent any spilling any remaining fuel in fuel tank.
  7. Disconnect fuel line from fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator on fuel pump module using proper procedure for fuel line disconnect fitting. See FUEL LINE DISCONNECT FITTINGS . Fuel pump module is located on top of fuel tank. See Figure. Disconnect electrical connector at fuel pump module. Disconnect vapor line from rollover valves on top of fuel tank and EVAP line from fuel pump module. Lower fuel tank from vehicle.
