WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component.
Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be
ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

1. Remove the Schrader valve cap.
2. NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the degas bottle cap to install the Fuel Pressure Test Kit onto the Schrader valve. If the degas bottle cap is
removed, cap off the degas bottle to prevent foreign material from entering the degas bottle.
Install the Fuel Pressure Test Kit onto the Schrader valve.
