Fuel Pressure Relief with CH 48027-100

Special Tools

CH-48027-100 Digital Pressure Gage

Warning: Remove the fuel tank cap and relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing the fuel system in order to reduce the risk of personal injury. After you relieve the fuel system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when servicing the fuel lines, the fuel injection pump, or the connections. In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, cover the fuel system components with a shop towel before disconnection. This will catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the towel in an approved container when the disconnection is complete.

Warning: Refer to Gasoline/Gasoline Vapors Warning in the Preface section.

1. Remove the engine cover, if required.
2. Loosen the fuel fill cap in order to relieve the fuel tank vapor pressure.
3. Remove the fuel rail service port cap.

Warning: Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure connection in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury. The towel will absorb any fuel leakage that occurs during the connection of the fuel pressure gage. Place the towel in an approved container when the connection of the fuel pressure gage is complete.
