Fuel Leakage Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes.
CAUTION:
  • Shorting the wrong terminal of the check connector may cause malfunctions. Make sure to short only the specified terminal.
  1. Ground the check connector terminal F/P to the body using a jumper wire.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and operate the fuel pump.
  3. Verify that there is no fuel leakage from the pressurized parts.
    • If there is leakage, replace the fuel hoses. 
    • If there is damage to the seal on the fuel pipe side, replace the fuel pipe.
