Fuel Pump Delivery Volume

  1. Remove fuel pump relay. Check current draw between socket No. 7 (terminal No. 87) and socket No. 8 (terminal No. 30). Draw of 6 amps indicates good fuel pump. Replace fuel pump if draw is more than 7 amps. Disconnect return line at diaphragm pressure regulator.
  2. Attach a hose to fitting on regulator. Place other end of hose in measuring glass or beaker. Bridge sockets No. 7 and 8 with jumper wire and run fuel pump for 50 seconds. Delivery volume should be .95 qt (1.0L) in 50 seconds with 11.5 volts supplied to fuel pump.
  3. If delivery volume is low, ensure pump is receiving 11.5 volts. Check if dirty strainer in feed connection of fuel distributor is causing restriction. Check for pinched fuel lines.
  4. Pinch by-pass line of fuel accumulator and repeat delivery volume test. If volume is correct, replace fuel accumulator. If volume is low, replace fuel filter and repeat test. Replace fuel pump if volume remains low. Reconnect fuel return line and install fuel pump relay.
