Fuel Pressure: Testing and Inspection
Fuel Pressure Test
FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION
Low Pressure Line (From the Fuel Tank to the High Pressure Fuel Pump)
WARNING: Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death. Fuel can also irritate skin and
eyes. To prevent this, always complete the "BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE".
CAUTION: Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick
release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting using cloth or soft brush, and make sure
that it is free of foreign material.
1. Complete the "BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE".
