? on changing out fuel transfer pump on 2001 CTD

From : bill allemann

Q: never done this before and read the procedure in a factory manual. as part of their procedure they show removing the starter first. their verbiage makes it sound like the reason for that is just to catch the fuel spill. is starter removal really necessary thanks bill .
