1. Valve
2. Center section
NOTE: Engines are equipped with a fuel pressure
test valve in the form of either a Shrader valve or a
diagnostic coupling.
2. Check for indications of aerated fuel in the fuel
system. Relieve pressure from the fuel rail using
the fuel pressure test valve.
• As fuel pressure is relieved, a steady stream
of fuel, without air from the fuel pressure test
valve, means that air is not in the fuel system.
• An erratic air/fuel mixture surge suggests that
air is in the fuel system.
Read all safety instructions in the "Safety Information" section of this manual before doing any procedures.
