Overview
This section covers the fuel system from the fuel filter to the fuel injectors, and includes the fuel rail and pump.
WARNING: Make sure that all suitable safety precautions are observed when carrying out any work on the fuel
system. failure to observe this warning may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Make sure that absolute cleanliness is observed when working with these components. Always install
blanking plugs to any open orifices or lines. failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the vehicle.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding
to the next step.
4. Use the approved diagnostic system or a scan tool to retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) before moving
onto the symptom chart or DTC index.

Fuel pump fault pump. Disconnect the fuel spill lines and direct into a
suitable container through a length of clear pipe. Crank
the engine to at least 250 rpm for a minimum of 15
seconds. The pump spill flow should be at least 160
ml/min. If the spill flow is greater than this, install a
new injection pump.
REFER to: Fuel Pump (303-04D Fuel Charging and

vehicle does run, install a new fuel filter and run the
engine at 3,000 rpm for 3 minutes. During this, monitor
the fuel pressure using a datalogger function. If there is
an airlock in the pump, the fuel pressure will be low and
unstable, but a high-speed run should clear this. If the
fault does not clear, check the low-pressure system to
the injection pump. Insert a length of clear pipe into the
fuel line and check for a steady flow of fuel with no air
bubbles. If the low-pressure system checks out,
disconnect the fuel injector electrical connectors and
backleak connections. Direct the lines into a suitable
container and crank the engine. Compare the flow from
the injectors and if there is one or more with low flow,
