NOTE: A DVOM, New Generation Star (NGS) tester and NGV Pressure and Venting Kit (134-00114) are necessary to perform the following test procedures.

Visually inspect fuel system for damaged fuel tanks, solenoids, fuel lines/hoses, fuses, relays and loose or corroded connectors. If any faults are indicated, repair as necessary. If no faults are indicated and system will not vent, proceed with TESTING (CROWN VICTORIA) , TESTING (ECONOLINE)  or TESTING (F150)  .
