Remove and discard the return lines triple-clip (3). 18SP730Rev. Page 6 of 14 Installation of the DD13 High Pressure Fuel Rail Feed Lines - Three-Filter System NOTICE: The high pressure fuel rail feed lines, vibration dampers, P-clips, mounting bracket and hardware are one-time use components and MUST be replaced any time they are removed or loosened. Refer to TS letter 16 TS-9 Rev2 (http://dtna.info/16ts9) for the high pressure fuel line kit numbers. NOTE: DO NOT install bolts and fittings using power tools. All bolts and fittings MUST be installed using hand tools. PERSONAL INJURY All hardware/components MUST be installed in the proper locations, and MUST be fastened to the specified torque. Failure to properly torque hardware/components will result in failure of a high pressure fuel feed line, resulting in possible fire and/or personal injury. 1. Install the new return lines triple-clip (3) on to the return lines. 18SP730Rev. Page 7 of 14 2. Clean the sealing area inside the high pressure fuel pump outlet fittings using a clean lint-free cloth. The photo shown below is of KM59 GEN1 High Pressure Fuel Pump Fittings. 3. Clean the sealing area inside the high pressure fuel rail using a clean lint-free cloth. The photo shown below is of KM59 GEN1 high pressure fuel rail fittings. 18SP730Rev. Page 8 of 14 NOTICE: New P-clip MUST be installed on to the high pressure fuel rail feed lines with the lower P-clip plate (1) inserted into the P-clip window (2); see graphic below. 4. Install both of the new P-clips, one each, onto the high pressure fuel rail feed lines; see graphic below. 18SP730Rev. Page 9 of 14 NOTE: DO NOT use new high pressure fuel rail feed lines that do not have new vibration dampers installed. 5. Position the rear high pressure fuel rail feed line into the fuel rail and the high pressure fuel pump. Do not start the threads of the fuel line nuts at this point. 6. Position the front high pressure fuel rail feed line into the fuel rail and the high pressure fuel pump. Do not start the threads of the fuel line nuts at this point. 7. Install the new mounting bracket (1) and two new mounting bracket bolts (2) to the fuel rail clamp. Hand-tighten the mounting bracket bolts all the way until the bracket and bolts are flush. Do not torque at this time. 18SP730Rev. Page 10 of 14 NOTE: New P-clips (2) MUST be installed perpendicular to the bracket (1) and parallel with each other. Hold P-clips in place during tightening to avoid rotation of the P-Clips; see graphic below. 8. Ensure the rear high pressure fuel rail feed line is in place to where the P-clip mounting hole lines up with the bracket nut. No excessive force should be applied to any components from the high pressure fuel rail feed line kit while assembling them loosely. 9. Install the new rear P-clip bolt hand tight. Do not torque at this time. 10. Hand-tighten the rear high pressure fuel rail feed line starting with the rail side nut first, and then the nut at the high pressure fuel pump. 18SP730Rev. Page 11 of 14 NOTICE: After torqueing each fuel line nut, P-clip bolt, mounting bracket bolt, and return line triple-clip bolt, mark the fittings and fasteners with a paint pen. Draw a line with the paint pen on the fitting or fastener and the adjacent metal as shown in the photograph below. The photograph shown below is of the KM63 fuel system, the three filter system is similar. PERSONAL INJURY All hardware/components MUST be installed in the proper locations, and MUST be fastened to the specified torque. Failure to properly torque hardware/components will result in failure of a high pressure fuel feed line, resulting in possible fire and/or personal injury. 11. Using fuel line socket W314589010300 or a commercially available 19mm fuel line socket, torque the rear high pressure fuel rail feed line nuts to 40 N·m (30 lb·ft) starting with the rail side nut first, and then the nut at the high pressure fuel pump. Using a paint pen, draw a line with the paint on the fuel line nut and the adjacent metal once torqued, as shown in the photograph above. 12. Ensure the front high pressure fuel rail feed line is in place so that the p-clip mounting hole lines up with the bracket nut. No excessive force should be applied to any components from the high pressure fuel rail feed lines kit while loosely assembling them. 13. Install the new front P-clip bolt hand tight. Do not torque at this time. 18SP730Rev. Page 12 of 14 14. Hand-tighten the front high pressure fuel rail feed line starting with the rail side nut first, and then the nut at the high pressure fuel pump. 15. Using fuel line socket W314589010300 or a commercially available 19mm fuel line socket, torque the front high pressure fuel rail feed line nuts to 40 N·m (30 lb·ft) starting with the rail side nut first, and then the nut at the high pressure fuel pump. Using a paint pen, draw a paint line on the torqued fuel line nut and the adjacent metal, as shown in the photograph above. NOTE: New P-clips (1) MUST be installed perpendicular to the bracket (2) and parallel with each other. Hold P-clips in place during tightening to avoid rotation of the P-Clips. 16. Torque the two new high pressure fuel rail feed line P-clip bolts to 14 N·m (124 lb·in.). Using a paint pen, draw a paint line on the torqued bolt head and the adjacent metal, as shown in the notice after step 10. 17. Torque the two new mounting bracket bolts to 30 N·m (22 lb·ft). Using a paint pen, draw a paint line on the torqued bolt head and the adjacent metal, as shown in the notice after step 10. 18. Install the bolt for the amplification, needle, and pressure limiting valve return line triple-clip (1). Torque to 14 N·m (124 lb·in.). Using a paint pen, draw a paint line on the torqued bolt head and adjacent metal, as shown in the notice after step 10. 19. Inspect all components of the high pressure fuel rail feed line kit to make sure all fittings and fasteners have been properly installed, torqued and marked with a paint pen. Have the lead hand or supervisor review the installation and sign off on the repair order to ensure that all components were properly torqued and painted. 20. If removed for access, install the air cleaner. Refer to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) procedures. 18SP730Rev. Page 13 of 14 ELECTRICAL SHOCK To avoid injury from electrical shock, use care when connecting battery cables. The magnetic switch studs are at battery voltage. 21. Connect the batteries. 22. Prime the fuel system. Refer to section "Priming the Fuel System - Three-Filter System". 23. Perform the Rail Pressure Bleed-Off test to verify that there are no leaks. Refer to section "Rail Pressure Bleed Off Test Using DiagnosticLink® Standard (EPA07 and EPA10) - Three-Filter Fuel System". 24. If there are leaks, find the leak and repair, as necessary. 25.
