TM 9-2350-358-BD 14-13. PERSONNEL HEATER FUEL LINE DAMAGED - CONTINUED Limitations: If filter is removed, fuel may contain contaminants and water. Personnel/Time Required: • 1 soldier • 1.0 hour Materials/Tools: Tape, antiseizing (Item 61, Appendix C) References: TM 9-2350-314-20-1-2 Procedural Steps: WARNING Spilled fuel is highly flammable and slippery on steel deck. Using rags, wipe away all traces of spilled fuel and properly dispose of rags. Failure to heed this warning can result in personnel injury or death. NOTE • If fuel line tubes, elbows, and/or hoses are cracked, bent, or leaking, refer to paragraph 3-22. • Place suitable container beneath heater fuel pump, heater fuel filter, and/or fuel lines to collect any fuel that may leak out. 1. Remove fuel line tube from the elbow at the input to the heater fuel pump. 2. Lower open end of fuel line and look for fuel to flow from line. If fuel does flow from line, reconnect line and go to step 8. 3. If fuel did not flow in step 2, separate fuel line above quick-disconnect, leaving male connector in quick-disconnect so fuel can flow. 4. If fuel flows from quick-disconnect, remove quick-disconnect and then remove blockage from line using compressed air. Reconnect fuel line tube to heater fuel pump. 5. If fuel does not flow from quick-disconnect, remove fuel line from bulkhead. 6. If fuel flows from bulkhead connector, remove blockage from line using compressed air. Reconnect fuel line tube at quick-disconnect and at bulkhead. 7. If fuel does not flow from bulkhead connector, blockage is in engine compartment and powerpack will have to be removed to isolate cause of blockage. Reconnect line at this time. 8. Remove heater fuel pump outlet tube from heater fuel pump. 14-7
