Fuel Filter Replacement - GMC 2006 DURAMAX Manual

Van Models
If the engine stalls and you think that you may have run
out of fuel, do this to restart your engine:
1. If you are parked on a level surface, add at least
one gallon of fuel. However, if you are parked on a
slope, you may need to add up to five gallons of fuel.
2. Follow the vehicle fuel system priming procedure
earlier in this section to re-prime the system and
re-start the engine.
Your check engine light may come on if the vehicle has
run out of fuel. This light may stay on for a few drive
cycles after the condition is corrected, but will eventually
clear itself.

Fuel Filter Replacement

Pickup Models
If you want to change the fuel filter yourself, here's how
to do it:
CAUTION:
{
Diesel fuel is flammable. It could start a fire if
something ignites it, and you could be burned.
Do not let it get on hot engine parts, and keep
matches or other ignition sources away.
First, drain any water from the filter following the
procedure for draining water listed previously.
Your vehicle's engine should be off until the end of this
procedure.
The fuel filter is located in the engine compartment on
the passenger's side of the vehicle, or on the driver's
side frame rail in front of the fuel tank.
1. Apply the parking brake.
