- Connect assisting hose - arrow - to pressure gauge and hold it in a measuring container.

- Open shut-off valve of pressure gauge. The lever points in the direction of flow.

- Generate pressure in the fuel system by pressing the switch of the remote control and slowly closing the shut-off valve of the pressure gauge.

Specified value: 4 bar positive pressure.

- From this point on do not move position of shut-off tap.

- Empty the measuring container.

- Press the switch on the remote control for 15 seconds.

- Compare quantity of fuel delivered with minimum delivery rate in diagram (cm3/15s).
