Toyota Skid Steer Loader SGK6 SDK6 SDK8 Factory Workshop Manual download

Summary (theory first)
- Role: the fuel pump supplies a steady, air‑free stream of fuel at the correct pressure and flow rate to the engine’s injection system. If it loses pressure/flow or leaks/ingresses air, the engine will run poorly, stall, not start, or suffer power loss.
- Two common pump roles on skid‑steers: (a) low‑pressure feed (lift) pump — supplies the injection pump or injector rail; (b) high‑pressure/injection pump (mechanical or common‑rail high‑pressure pump). Most symptoms you’ll replace a feed pump for are low flow/air leaks/electrical failure; high‑pressure pump failures give loss of injection pressure and severe running problems. Always confirm which pump you are dealing with on SGK6/SDK6/SDK8 from the workshop manual.
- Failure modes and how replacement fixes them:
- Electrical failure (no power, burnt motor) → replacing or repairing pump/electrical restores motor-driven flow.
- Mechanical wear/seized bearings or worn vanes → new pump restores internal clearances and flow.
- Leaking seals, cracked housing, perished hoses → new pump/seals prevent air ingestion and loss of pressure.
- Clogged filters/strainers causing cavitation → cleaning/replacing filter plus pump ensures adequate flow.
- Air in system → priming/bleeding removes air so pump can deliver continuous fuel.

Ordered procedure (concise, read the model workshop manual for exact locations, torques and pressures)

1) Safety & preparation
- Park on level ground, engine off, cool, key out. Chock wheels and apply parking brake.
- Disconnect negative battery terminal to prevent electrical sparks.
- Wear gloves/eye protection; have absorbent and a sealed container for fuel.
- Note: fuel is flammable — ventilate area and eliminate ignition sources.

Why: prevents sparks/fire, protects you, and avoids electrical damage.

2) Confirm fault & basic diagnostics (do this before removing pump)
- Symptom checklist: no start, hard start, surging, loss of power, fuel smell, visible leaks.
- Electrical quick checks: measure battery voltage at pump connector when key ON; check ground continuity; wiggle wiring to see intermittent behavior.
- Flow/pressure checks: connect workshop‑specified fuel pressure gauge or use a flow test (block and measure returned fuel or fuel delivered during cranking). Compare to spec.
- Filter/strainer check: inspect/replace primary fuel filter and sediment bowl before condemning pump.

Why: distinguishes between electrical, filter, line, or pump failure so you don’t replace parts unnecessarily. Pump replacement is only necessary if the pump cannot produce specified flow/pressure or draws abnormal current or leaks.

3) Depressurize and isolate fuel system
- If system has pressure, relieve it per manual (key OFF, use manual primer bleed screw or loosen fittings at low‑pressure point and catch fuel with rag/container).
- Close any fuel shutoff valves.

Why: prevents fuel spray and reduces fire hazard while disconnecting lines.

4) Access & tag components
- Remove engine/shroud panels as needed to expose pump. On these Toyota models the feed pump is usually on/near the engine block or in‑tank — confirm location from manual.
- Tag and photograph hose/electrical positions so reassembly is exact.

Why: avoids swapping lines/hoses that would cause leaks or reversed fittings.

5) Disconnect electrical and fuel lines
- Remove electrical connector(s). Use caps/clamps on open fuel hose to limit spillage and air ingestion. Catch fuel into a suitable container.
- Cap the tank end if possible to keep contamination out.

Why: preserves cleanliness and prevents air entering the system during removal.

6) Remove pump
- Remove mounting bolts and any brackets; withdraw pump assembly.
- Inspect mating surfaces, hose ends, O‑rings, and mounting for damage or corrosion.

Why/theory: Some faults are caused by damaged seals/mounting—repair those too. Internally worn pumps won’t meet flow specs and must be replaced.

7) Prepare new pump and replace associated parts
- Replace pump with correct OEM or approved unit. Always replace all gaskets, O‑rings, mounting seals, and any required spacers.
- Replace fuel filter/strainer and any brittle fuel lines or clamps while you have access.

Why: a new pump plus new seals and a clean filter prevents immediate recontamination, air ingress, and leak recurrence.

8) Install pump
- Fit new pump, torque mounting bolts to workshop spec, reconnect hoses in correct positions, install new O‑rings where required.
- Reconnect electrical connector ensuring good contact (clean corroded terminals).
- Reinstall shrouds/panels.

Why: correct sealing and torque prevent leaks and ensure pump alignment; clean electrical connections prevent voltage drop and intermittent operation.

9) Prime / bleed air from system
- Use the manual primer (if fitted) or key ON cycles to run the pump without cranking, or operate the vehicle’s priming procedure in the manual. Loosen bleed screw(s) on the filter or pump until fuel stream is steady and bubble‑free, then re‑tighten.
- If diesel, cycle the manual lever until firm pressure is felt (manual instructions vary).

Why/theory: pumps cannot pump air; trapped air causes cavitation, poor flow and no‑start. Proper priming restores continuous fuel column and correct pressure.

10) Test operation and verify repairs
- Reconnect battery negative terminal.
- Start engine and monitor for: immediate start behavior, smooth idle, absence of sputter/stall, absence of fuel leaks, and normal rev response.
- Re-check fuel pressure/flow against workshop spec and measure pump current draw to ensure it is within limits.
- Road/test load check under working conditions if appropriate.

Why/theory: verifying pressure/flow confirms the root cause (pump) is fixed. Current draw tells you pump isn’t mechanically binding.

11) Final checks and disposal
- Tighten fittings after a short run, confirm no leaks. Dispose of old fuel and parts per regulations.

Why: thermal cycling can loosen fittings; safe disposal required.

Troubleshooting notes (if problem persists after pump replacement)
- If replaced pump but still no pressure: re-check electrical feed (fuses, relays, ECU power), check fuel tank pick‑up/strainer for blockage, check return line restrictions, and check for air ingress at tank/hose connections.
- If pressure intermittently drops: suspect wiring intermittent, thermal expansion causing leaks, or a failing non‑return valve; re‑inspect connectors and sealing surfaces.
- If there is fuel foaming: check for inlet restrictions or wrong pump orientation; foaming reduces effective flow.

How the repair fixes the fault — concise mapping
- Dead motor/no flow → new pump restores motor-driven flow and corrects starting/stalling.
- Low flow due to wear → new internal clearances restore required flow/pressure.
- Leaks/air ingress at pump → new seals/O‑rings eliminate air ingestion and fuel loss, restoring steady feed and preventing vapor lock/cavitation.
- Clogged filter replaced during pump service → removes flow restriction that made the pump cavitate or overwork.
- Electrical connector/cable repair → restores voltage so pump operates at specification.

Final reminder (short): Always use the model workshop manual for exact pump location, part numbers, bleeding/priming procedure, torque figures and pressure specs for SGK6/SDK6/SDK8.
