How to attach pressure sensor for fuel pressure (Use a commercial three-way joint and hose unions.)
*Cut the fuel feed pipe and
install hose unions.
*If the material used for the
inner surface of fuel feed
pipe is resin, a hose union
may not be fixed. Check the
material before cutting the
fuel feed pipe.
Be sure the sensor wire is not twisted when installing the sensor. The sensor wire will be cut.
Before cutting the fuel feed pipe, be certain to remove the gas cap to relieve any pressure built up in the
fuel tank.
When cutting the fuel feed pipe, be certain to discharge static electricity. Otherwise, there is a possibility
of the ignition in gasoline.
Wear glasses to protect eyes when cutting the fuel filter pipe.
To avoid fuel leaks during installation of the sensor, use Teflon tape. Attach hose connection and fuel
feed tubing with clamps. Inspect pipes and hose connections for leaks before driving.
To avoid the damage of the sensor wire, please fix the waterproof connector on the vehicle body and
do not bend the sensor wire near the sensor.
The sensor must be installed on the feed (high pressure) pipe side between the fuel tank and the
fuel pressure regulator.
*It is not possible to obtain accurate fuel pressure from the return (low pressure) side at the rear of the
fuel pressure regulator.
The thread size of hose unions and the three-way joint need to be 1/8PT. Use hose unions and a
three-way joint of 1/8PT. If the thread size of the three-way joint is 1/8NPT, use a conversion adapter
available from hardware stores.
Tighten the sensor into the sensor attachment and then connect it to the sensor wire.
