If a fuel pressure indicator is installed, it may be used to recognize irregularities of the fuel system or
of the fuel pressure.
NOTE
Strong indicators of upcoming problems or failures within the fuel supply system are unsteady or
constantly low fuel pressure. Blocked filters, bended pipes or a damaged fuel pump could be the
source of these problems.
Too high fuel pressure is an indication of a damaged regulating valve or a blocked back flow pipe.
Once these signs recognized it is mandatory not to take off again and if in flight to land as soon as
possible on the nearest airfield.
Defective switches or fuses within the fuel supply system have to be replaced before next flight.
