Install a NEW fuel pump module seal (1).

IMPORTANT: The reservoir must be tipped slightly during installation to avoid bending the fuel level sensor float arm.

Tilt the fuel pump module toward the rear of the fuel tank to enable the level sensor float arm to clear the tank opening. Install the fuel pump module to the fuel tank.
Slowly lower the fuel pump module assembly into the tank. Ensure that the fuel level sensor harness connector is positioned properly.
