Section 5 – Final Checks and System Start-up
5-1. Ensure that any spilled gasoline and any gasoline soaked shop towels are cleaned up and removed from the
vicinity of the vehicle!
5-2. Carefully lower the car onto the ground.
5-3. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline and check for any leaks in the system, if any leaks are found repair immediately.
CAUTION:
While performing the following steps, if any fuel leaks are detected, immediately turn the ignition
OFF, remove any spilled fuel and repair the leak(s) before proceeding!
5-4. Reconnect the battery and turn the ignition to the ON position WITHOUT starting the car. After several seconds,
check the fuel pressure. If there is no fuel pressure, turn the ignition key to the OFF position, wait one minute, return
the ignition to the ON position, and recheck the fuel pressure. Repeat this ignition OFF and ON procedure until the
fuel pressure gauge registers fuel pressure.
5-5. With the fuel pressure gauge registering fuel system pressure, check for fuel leaks throughout the entire fuel
system! If any fuel leaks are found, turn the ignition key to the OFF position, remove any spilled fuel and
repair the leak before proceeding!
5-6. Once the fuel pressure gauge registers fuel system pressure and there are no fuel leaks, start the engine and adjust
the regulator to the desired fuel pressure. Turning the adjustment screw clockwise will increase fuel pressure. Typical
regulators are set at approximately 5-6 psi. The fuel pressure adjustment range for this regulator is 3-15 psi.
5-7. Once the desired fuel pressure is achieved, tighten the regulator adjustment jam nut and attach the vacuum line.
5-8. Test drive the car to ensure proper operation and re-check the fuel system for leaks. If any leaks are found,
immediately discontinue use of the vehicle and repair the leak(s)!
