 Active Fuel Injector Tester User Guide

Safety Information

    Before beginning any tests, make sure the equipment and the test 

environment are safe

•  Test area should be well ventilated.

•  When working on and underneath the vehicle, make sure it is properly supported on a hoist 

or jack stands.

•  When removing the fuel cap , make sure to turn the vehicle off.

•  When removing the fuel cap, do so slowly. Allow any pressure to decay before fully removing 

the cap.

•  When connecting or disconnecting to a fuel line, always make sure to relieve the system  

fuel pressure.

    Ensure you have proper leak-free connections

•  Check all equipment connections before, during and after testing.

•  Do not pinch or kink tubing.

•  Secure hose clamps when using hose adapters.

•  Before connecting fuel lines and hose fittings, apply a few drops of clean engine oil to male 

ends to ensure proper connection with female connectors.

•  Tug firmly on quick-connect fittings to check for proper connection.

•  Make sure the safety catch is seated the adapter groove of any quick-connect couplers.

    Use the equipment properly

•  Do not use this tester on diesel high pressure fuel lines (100 psi is max.)

•  Do not disassemble the FMU. This can cause damage leakage and will void your warranty.

•  Do not disassemble the Control Unit except to access the fuse and EPROMs during 

replacement. This will void your warranty.
