FUEL SYSTEM INSPECTION
A problem with the components that send fuel to
the engine can cause low fuel pressure. This can
decrease engine performance.
1. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank. Look at the cap
for the fuel tank to make sure the vent is not filled with
dirt.
2. Check the fuel lines for fuel leakage. Be sure the fuel
supply line does not have a restriction or a bad bend.
3. Install new fuel filters. Clean the primary fuel filter.
4. Inspect the fuel pressure relief valve in the fuel
transfer pump to see that there is no restriction to good
operation.
