Fuel Pump Pressure Test

1. Relieve the fuel line pressure from the

vehicle fuel system.

Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s

service manual for instructions

on relieving pressure from the

fuel line, testing procedures and

connection points, and normal

fuel pump pressure readings.

2. Disconnect the pump fuel

output line at the pump.

3. Use the various Adapters included

and Rubber Hose (2) to connect the

Vacuum / Pressure Gauge (1) directly

to the fuel pump.

Use a small amount of pipe compound

or pipe thread seal tape (not supplied)

on the connection threads to prevent

leaks. Tighten using a wrench (not

supplied).

WARNING! Make sure

all connections are tight

to avoid fuel leaks.

2. Connect the Vacuum / Pressure Gauge

(1) to the fuel pump inlet connector.

Use the Rubber Hose (2) and the

various adapters that fit the pump

inlet connector. Do not kink Rubber

Hose. Do not allow air leaks.

3. Start the engine and immediately view

the Vacuum / Pressure Gauge (1).

If the gauge pointer rises to 10 IN/
