REF.: Listed in Table ENGINE: DD15 DATE: March 2009 SUBJECT: FUEL FILTER ADDITIONS, REVISIONS, OR UPDATES Publication Number Platform Section Title Change Page Number(s) DDC-SVC-MAN-0037 EPA07 DD Fuel filter torque has changed to N m (40-44 lb ft) NOTE: Page numbers are based on the most recent version of the individual publication and may be adjusted throughout the annual print cycle.

2 REMOVAL OF FINAL FILTER Remove the final filter as follows: 1. Using a 36-mm socket, unscrew the final filter cap. NOTICE: Donottiltthefinal filter when removing it from the housing. Possible damage to the final filter or stand pipe may occur. 2. Pull the cap and final filter straight up and allow the fuel to drain back. 3. Remove the final filter (2) from the final filter cap (1) by placing the filter on a solid surface and apply pressure on the final filter cap at an angle. 4. Discard the filter. 5. Inspect inside the housing for any large debris and clean if needed. 6. Discard the final filter cap seal ring.

3 INSTALLATION OF THE FINAL FILTER Install the final filter as follows: 1. Install a new the final filter cap seal ring. 2. Snap new final filter into the final filter cap. 3. Apply a light coat of petroleum-based lithium grease (supplied with filter kit) to the cap seal ring (1) and to the lower seal on the final filter. 4. Install the final filter into the fuel filter module. 5. Turn the cap counterclockwise until a click sound is made, then turn clockwise and hand tighten. 6. Torque final filter cap to N m (40-44 ft lb). NOTE: If a filter service is being performed, replace all other filters before priming. 7. Prime fuel system using fuel priming valve or hand primer. Refer to section, Fuel System Priming. 8. After the engine has started, check for leaks.

4 REMOVAL OF PREFILTER Remove prefilter as follows: 1. Using a 36 mm socket, unscrew the prefilter cap. NOTICE: Do not tilt the prefilter when removing it from the housing. Possible damage to the prefilter or stand pipe may occur. 2. Pull the cap and prefilter straight up and out of the fuel filter housing. 3. Remove the prefilter from the prefilter cap and discard. 4. Discard the prefilter cap seal ring INSTALLATION OF PREFILTER Install as follows: 1. Install a new prefilter cap seal ring. 2. Snap new prefilter (3) into the prefilter cap (1). NOTE: The prefilter should snap into the cap in two positions. The tabs (4) should align with the slot in the prefilter cap (2).

5 3. Apply a thin coat of petroleum-based lithium grease (supplied with filter kit) to the prefilter cap seal ring. 4. Apply a thin coat of petroleum-based lithium grease to the inside and outside of the prefilter bottom seal. 5. Install the prefilter into the fuel filter module. 6. Turn the cap counterclockwise until a click sound is made, then turn clockwise and hand tighten. 7. Torque prefilter cap to N m (11-15 lb ft). NOTE: If a filter service is being performed, replace all other filters before priming. 8. Prime fuel system using fuel priming valve or hand primer. Refer to section Fuel System Priming. 9. After the engine has started, check for leaks.

6 REMOVAL OF THE WATER SEPARATOR/COALESCER Remove the water separator/coalescer as follows: 1. Using a 36 mm socket, unscrew the coalescer cap. NOTICE: Do not tilt the coalescer when removing it from the housing. Possible damage to the coalescer or stand pipe may occur. 2. Pull the cap and water separator/coalescer straight up and allow the fuel to drain back. 3. Remove the coalescer (1) from the water separator/coalescer cap (2) by placing the filter on a solid surface and apply pressure on the water separator/coalescer cap at an angle. 4. Discard the filter. 5. Inspect inside the housing for any large debris and clean it out if needed. 6. Discard water separator/coalesce cap seal ring.

7 INSTALLATION OF WATER SEPARATOR/COALESCER Install as follows: 1. Install a new water separator/coalesce cap seal ring. 2. Snap a new coalescer into the water separator/coalesce cap. 3. Apply a light coat of petroleum-based lithium grease (supplied with filter kit) to the water separator/coalescer cap seal ring and to the lower seal (1) on the water separator/coalesce filter. 4. Install the coalescer into the fuel filter module. 5. Turn the cap counterclockwise until a click sound is made, then turn clockwise and hand tighten. 6. Torque coalescer cap to N m (40-44 ft lb). NOTE: If a filter service is being performed, replace all other filters before priming. 7. Prime fuel system using fuel priming valve or hand primer. Refer to section, Fuel System Priming. 8. After the engine has started, check for leaks.
