Fuel System Pressure Relief
2000 Chevrolet Chevy Express G3500, Van Passenger, 7.4 JSECTION Fuel System Pressure Relief
WARNING:
Always relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.
Fuel system is under pressure. Pressure must be relieved prior to servicing fuel system. Fuel pressure may be relieved by using one of the following methods:
- On 1.6L and 2.0L, loosen fuel filler cap to release fuel tank pressure (do not tighten at this time). Remove fuel pump relay. Start and run engine until it stalls. Crank starter for 3 seconds to remove remaining fuel from fuel lines. Turn ignition off. Reinstall fuel pump relay. Disconnect negative battery cable to avoid possible fuel discharge in accidental attempt to start engine.
- On all models except 1.6L and 2.0L, disconnect negative battery cable. Loosen fuel filler cap. Install Fuel Pressure Gauge (J-34730-1A) on fuel pressure connector of fuel rail. Wrap shop towel around pressure connection when installing fuel pressure gauge to absorb fuel leakage. Install gauge bleed hose in container. Open bleed valve to bleed fuel pressure.
