Residual Pressure, Checking
Diagnostic Procedures
Residual Pressure, Checking
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Switched remote control (jumper).
• Multimeter.
• Electrical connector test lead set.
• Fuel pressure gauge.
Test procedure
- Observe safety precautions. Refer to => [ Safety Precautions ] Safety Precautions
- Observe Clean Working Conditions. Refer to => [ Clean Working Conditions ] Clean Working Conditions
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.
Test conditions
• The pressure gauge remains connected from Fuel Pressure test.
• Fuel pressure of approx. 5.6 bar should be displayed on pressure tester.
• Hand held remote starter (jumper) is connected.
Test sequence
- Watch pressure drop on gauge. After 10 minutes pressure must not drop below a 4.0 bar decrease.
If pressure drops below 4.0 bar:
- Operate hand held remote starter (jumper) while doing this, observe display of pressure tester.
Fuel pressure must increase up to a maximum pressure of 6 bar.
- Release control button of hand held remote starter (jumper) and immediately close shut off valve of pressure gauge. Then lever the points perpendicular to flow direction - arrow -.
• When releasing control button of hand held remote starter (jumper), fuel pressure decreases to approx. 5.6 bar.
If pressure drops below 4.0 bar again:
(Leak on fuel tank side)
- Check connections to fuel tank for leaks.
If no malfunction can be found:
- Check fuel filter for leaks.
- Check fuel line to flange assembly for leaks.
- Check all additional fuel lines in fuel tank for leaks.
If no malfunctions are found on fuel line:
- Pressure relief valve in flange assembly faulty.
- Replace flange assembly which contains the pressure relief valve.
