WARNING:

Very hot fuel can burn your skin.

In extreme cases, the fuel lines and the fuel itself in vehicles with a common rail engine can be as hot as 100 °C (212 °F) after the engine has been turned off. Let the fuel cool down before opening any line connections otherwise there is a danger of scalding.
Wear safety gloves
Wear protective eyewear.

There is a risk of injury because the fuel is under pressure.

To reduce pressure in fuel system, lay a clean cloth around the connector and carefully loosen connector.

CAUTION:

Always observe the rules for cleanliness when working on the injection system, refer to CLEAN WORKING CONDITIONS .

-- Remove the fuel supply hose -1- from the fuel filter.

NOTE:

Ignore the other items.

-- Hold the remove fuel supply hose -arrow- in a measuring container.

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

NOTE:

Voltage at fuel pump with engine stopped and pump running is approximately 2 volts less than battery voltage.

If minimum delivery quantity is not obtained, the following malfunctions may be present:

The fuel tank does not have enough fuel in it.
The fuel lines are pinched.
One of the two fuel pumps is faulty.

NOTE:

This test does not test the throughput of the fuel filter. Test the filter separately, if necessary.
