Fuel Pressure Release

  1. Fuel pressure must be fully released before opening fuel system or removing any fuel carrying components. To release pressure in tank, open fuel tank cap slowly.
  2. To release remaining pressure in system, disconnect injector wiring harness. Using jumper wire, connect injector harness ground terminal No. 1 to ground. Connect injector harness positive terminal No. 2 to positive battery terminal with second jumper wire. See Fig 1 or Fig 2 .
  3. DO NOT keep injector connector to positive battery terminal for longer than 5 seconds. Remove jumper wires. Fuel injection system can now be opened and fuel carrying components removed as pressure is fully released.
