The fuel backflow valve is a dual purpose valve.
It incorporates a check valve that prevents pressurized fuel generated by the purge pump
(wobble pump) from back flowing into the primary fuel filter.
It incorporates a by-pass valve that limits the fuel pressure to the manifold heaters.
The most notable symptom produced by a non-functioning backflow valve is a non-
functioning manifold heater. To determine if your backflow valve is functioning properly,
perform the following test.
TEST
1. Check free flow of valve (1).
a. Disconnect hose (2) [fuel out of valve] from outlet fitting (3).
b. Provide a suitable container to catch fuel.
