Remove the pertinent covers to expose the fuel system components, lines, and fuel tank.Test Procedures
Examine the fuel system for leaks. Ensure that the fuel line fittings are properly tightened. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank. Air can enter the fuel system on the suction side between the fuel transfer pump and the fuel tank.
Install a 2P-8278 Tube As (SIGHT GAUGE) in the fuel return line. When possible, install the sight gauge in a straight section of the fuel line that is at least 304.8 mm (12 inch) long. Do not install the sight gauge near the following devices that create turbulence:
Elbows
Relief valves
Check valvesObserve the fuel flow during engine cranking. Look for air bubbles in the fuel. If there is no fuel in the sight gauge, prime the fuel system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Prime" for more information.
