Fuel Pressure Inspection

  1. Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line referring to "FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE:  ".
  2. Disconnect fuel feed hose (3) from delivery fuel feed pipe (1).
    CAUTION: A small amount of fuel may be released when fuel feed hose is removed. Place container under the fuel feed hose or fuel feed pipe with a shop cloth so that released fuel is caught in container or absorbed in cloth. Place that cloth in an approved container.
  3. Connect special tools and hose (2) between fuel feed hose (3) and fuel feed pipe (1) as shown in figure, and clamp hose securely to ensure no leaks occur during checking.
