Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair
FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
WARNING:
-
To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, it is necessary to relieve fuel system pressure before servicing fuel system components.
-
After relieving fuel system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when servicing fuel lines or connections. In order to reduce
the chance of personal injury, cover fuel line fittings with a shop towel before disconnecting to catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the
towel in an approved container when disconnect is complete.
PROCEDURE:
1. Loosen fuel filler cap to relieve fuel tank pressure.
2. Disconnect fuel pump relay electrical connector.
3. Crank engine and allow to stall. Crank engine for an additional three seconds to assure relief of any remaining fuel pressure.
4. Remove negative (-) battery cable to avoid possible fuel discharge if an attempt is made to start the engine.
5. Reconnect fuel pump relay electrical connector.
6. Tighten fuel filler cap.
