Testing the first fuel sample
Water and Sediment Test
1. Close the bleed valve on the fuel
pressure gage.
2. Connect a scan tool and locate it under wood,
where the 100mL beaker and
pressure gage will be used.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. DO
NOT START THE ENGINE.
4. Place the bleed hose from the pressure gage
into the 100mL beaker.
5. Command the fuel pump ON with the scan
tool.
6. Slowly open the bleed valve on the fuel
pressure gage, until the 100mL beaker is full
to the 100mL mark. Shut the bleed valve.
NOTE: The first fuel sample is NOT to be used in
the J-44175-A tester. If this is the second fuel
sample, it is to be used for the Excessive Ethanol
Test. Continue to the Excessive Ethanol Test.
7. Place the 100mL beaker on a workbench, and
allow the first fuel sample to sit unmoved for
five minutes.
8. After five minutes, look through the fuel in the
beaker. If water or sediment appears in the fuel
sample, clean the fuel system and replace the
fuel in the vehicle. Fuel should be disposed of
in accordance with all applicable federal, state
and local requirements.
