Fuel Leak Diagnosis

1. Clean all of the fuel lines between the fuel injection pump and the fuel injectors using brake cleaning solvent, and let dry.
2. Add 8 ounces of oil dye to the fuel tank. On dual tanks, add the dye to the front, or primary tank. Refer to Fuel System Description (Fuel System Description).
3. Start and idle the engine for 3-5 minutes.
4. Command the fuel pressure control to 180 MPa (26,100 psi) with a scan tool.
5. Inspect for fuel leaks around the fuel injection pump, fuel rails, and fuel injector supply lines with a J 28428-E High Intensity Black Light Kit.
Tighten or replace any leaking lines or components. Refer to the following:
