NOTE: Checking the lift pump

performance is required before

the installation of the your Banks

performance product. Complete the

following steps and check to see that

the fuel lift pump is operating within

specified parameters, otherwise

damage to the fuel injection pump

may occur.
FUEL FILTER AND LINES
If the fuel filter/water separator has

not been recently replaced, it is highly

recommended that this be done at

this time. Check vehicle owner’s

manual and factory service manual

for replacement intervals and service

procedure.
FUEL TRANSFER (LIFT) PUMP
The fuel transfer pump supplies fuel

from the fuel tank through the fuel

filter/water separator to the high-

pressure injection pump. It is a 12-volt

vane-type self-priming pump mounted

to the left side of the engine behind

the fuel filter/water separator. Check

fuel lines to and from pump for leaks,

kinks, or other restrictions. A pump

with external housing leaks must

be replaced. Clean the area around

the pump and filter/separator before

performing the following test.
FUEL TRANSFER PUMP TEST
If a factory service manual is available,

refer to the Fuel Transfer Pump Test

in the Fuel System portion of the

manual. Otherwise perform the test as

indicated.
For ‘01-02 trucks, proceed to Step 3.

1.

Remove the two hex plugs from the

top of the fuel filter/water separator
