Check the fuel pressure.

Absolute pressure: Fuel pressure in fuel system + air pressure.

Relative pressure: Fuel pressure in fuel system.

The air pressure is approx. 100 kPa at sea level. VIDA measures the fuel pressure in absolute pressure. External pressure gauge (pressure gauge) measures the fuel pressure in relative pressure.

Fuel line pressure. See SPECIFICATIONS, MECHANICAL

The following method must be used when reading the fuel line pressure on the fuel rail:

Connecting fuel pressure gauge.

Supplement the pressure gauge with adapter and nipple before use.

Connect the adapter to the valve on the fuel rail in the locked position (image 1, valve closed).

Turn the tap on the pressure gauge in the direction of nipple.

see 9995479

Connect the pressure gauge's other connection to the fuel drain equipment.

Unlock the adapter (2, valve open).

Start the engine.

Read off the relative pressure.

Disconnecting fuel pressure gauge.

Ignition off.

Start the draining unit.

Set the cock on the pressure gauge to the central position.

Lock the adapter (valve closed as in 1).

Remove the adapter from the valve.

Stop the draining unit.

Reset the equipment.
