Fuel Pressure Check

  1. FUEL PRESSURE CHECK 
    1. Release fuel pressure to zero.
    2. Install the inline fuel quick disconnected fitting (A) between fuel damper (1) and injector tube.
      CAUTION: Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.
      NOTE:
      • Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel pressure cannot be completely released because Y51 models do not have fuel return system.
      • Use Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit (J-44321) to check fuel pressure.
