Section 05 FUEL SYSTEM
Subsection 02 (FUEL TANK/FUEL PUMP)
Set engine run/stop switch to RUN and observe
fuel pressure.
FUEL PRESSURE
350 kPa (51 PSI)
Turn ignition key OFF then back ON. Repeat the
test.
A rapid pressure drop indicates leakage either
from the fuel rail or from the fuel pump check
valve.
Check fuel rail for leaks. If it is not leaking, replace
fuel pump.
A slow pressure drop indicates leakage either
from the fuel injector or from the fuel pressure
regulator.
Check fuel injector for leaks. If it is not leaking,
replace fuel pump.
If there is no leakage,
start engine
and observe
fuel pressure. The fuel pressure should be the
same as above.
If pressure is within limits, fuel pump and pressure
regulator are functioning normally.
Remove pressure gauge and T-fitting.
Reconnect fuel pump oulet hose quick disconnect
fitting to fuel rail.
WARNING
Wipe off any fuel spillage. Fuel is flammable
and explosive under certain conditions. Al-
ways work in a well ventilated area.

mended by BRP may compromise fuel sys-
tem integrity.
WARNING
Whenever removing a hose in the fuel sys-
tem, always use new Oetiker clamps at as-
sembly. Then validate fuel system tightness
by performing a fuel pump pressure test.
Oetiker Clamp Replacement
To secure or cut Oetiker clamps on fuel lines, use
Oetiker pliers (P/N 295 000 070).
