| SUBJECT: | Fuel Pressure Gauge Hose Set (J-49863-1) Modification |
INTRODUCTION
This Service Information bulletin outlines a procedure to modify the fuel hose assembly included in the fuel pressure testing kit, Subaru Special Tool number J-49863-1. For the fuel pressure gauge to operate properly and provide accurate test results, the internals of the check valve portion of the hose assembly must be removed.
SERVICE PROCEDURE / INFORMATION
- CAREFULLY loosen and remove the check valve / hose assembly from the manual shut-off valve. No other disassembly of the hose assembly components is necessary.
- CAUTION: Wear Safety Glasses
- Remove the small internal snap ring located inside the (now removed) end of the check valve.
- While covering the end of the hose containing the check valve securely with a clean shop cloth, slowly administer compressed air into the opposite end of the hose assembly to gently release the internals of the check valve. A photo of the removed internal components is shown below.
- To avoid possible fuel system contamination, remove any remaining sealant from the threads of the check valve body and the manual valve. Apply a small amount of PTFE pipe sealant (or Teflon tape) to the male check valve body threads and re-assemble.
NOTE: To connect the fuel pressure test kit to FB engines, the additional items shown below are required.
