  Q: How to Remove and Install a Fuel Level Sensor, Fuel Pressure Regulator, and Fuel Pump Assembly on a Dodge Avenger?

  A:

  AWD configurations of 2014 and former models contain a saddle fuel tank that uses main and auxiliary fuel pumps along with their dedicated sending units. First step should be to release pressure from the fuel system. Move on to disconnect the negative battery cable from its mounting location on the remote ground terminal or battery. First remove the rear seat cushion followed by the removal of fuel pump module cover while extra attention needs to be focused on main and auxiliary fuel pump module covers during removal on AWD models. The repair procedure begins by disconnecting the fuel delivery line quick-connect fitting from all components comprising the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator and Fuel Level Sensor. This step concludes with disconnecting the assembly electrical connector. The assembly requires alignment marks between itself and the fuel tank prior to extraction for proper future installation. Adjustable-joint pliers help you loosen the lock ring fixing the assembly before you lift it from the fuel tank while steering it in a position which prevents the float arm from bending and protects the fuel pump inlet strainer from damage. Raising the fuel pump module and disconnecting the internal fuel line becomes necessary during auxiliary pump removal in AWD models. The removal period allows opportunity for an inspection of the pump inlet strainer and its subsequent cleaning with solvent until replacement becomes necessary. Reinstall the fuel pump module according to its removal steps while keeping the marks correctly aligned before locking it tightly with the ring.
