Fuel Delivery Tests


Checking fuel delivery is a fundamental part of trouble-
shooting and diagnosing the DME system . Fuel pressure di-
rectly influences fuel delivery . An accurate fuel pressure
gauge will be needed to make the tests .

There are three significant fuel delivery values to be mea-


sured :

" System pressure-created by the fuel pump and main-


tained by the pressure regulator.
" Fuel delivery volume-created by the fuel pump and af-
