J 34730-1A  Fuel Pressure Gage

    CAUTION: Refer to Gasoline/Gasoline Vapors Caution in Cautions and Notices.
    CAUTION: Remove the fuel tank cap and relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing the fuel system in order to reduce the risk of personal injury. After you relieve the fuel system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when servicing the fuel lines, the fuel injection pump, or the connections. In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, cover the fuel system components with a shop towel before disconnection. This will catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the towel in an approved container when the disconnection is complete.
  1. Turn the ignition OFF.
  2. Disconnect the battery negative cable in order to avoid possible fuel discharge if an accidental attempt is made to start the engine. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
  3. Loosen the fuel filler cap to relieve the fuel tank vapor pressure.
  4. Remove the cap from the fuel pressure service port.
