INSTALLATION
1. Clean the fuel pump module retaining flange, fuel tank mounting surface and fuel pump groove.
2. Apply a light coating of Premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or -K or equivalent meeting Ford Specification ESA-M1C75-B on a new fuel pump mounting gasket to hold it in place during assembly and install fuel pump mounting gasket in fuel ring groove.
3. Install the fuel pump carefully into the fuel tank to make sure that the filter, hoses and float rod are not damaged or binding. Align the fuel pump and the fuel tank retainer which is located on bottom of tank. Push the fuel pump into the fuel tank retainer. When the fuel pump is engaged, a definite click will be heard and the two outside tabs on the fuel pump will be engaged on the outside of the fuel tank retainer. The fuel pump must be snapped in the retainer with both tabs. Pull on the fuel pump to make sure it is fully engaged. Install sender plate to fuel tank being careful that locating keys are in keyways and O-ring seal remains in place.
4. Hold fuel pump module in place and install fuel pump locking retainer ring finger-tight. Make sure that all locking tabs are under fuel pump module locking retaining ring tabs.

8. Lower vehicle.
9. Install a minimum of 38 liters (10 gallons) of fuel and check for leaks.
10. Turn ignition switch to ON position for three seconds repeatedly (5 to 10 times) until Multiport Fuel Injection Fuel Pressure Gauge T80L-9974-B shows at least 241 kPa (35 psi). Check for leaks at fittings.
11. Check fuel gauge to verify sender is operating. Remove Multiport Fuel Injection Fuel Pressure Gauge T80L-9974-B.
