11. Transfer Pump Inlet Regulator (TPIR) Flow Test
Note: When performing the following fuel system tests, the Electric Fuel Lift Pump (EFLP) will only operate for 2 minutes unless the engine is running. If necessary, cycle the keyswitch to reactivate the pump.
For a C4.4 engine, refer to Illustration 9. For a C6.6 engine, refer to Illustration 10.
A. Disconnect the TPIR return line from the drain port on the TPIR. Install a suitable blanking cap on the open port in the TPIR return line.
B. Connect a temporary drain line to the drain port on the TPIR.
C. Place the end of the temporary drain line into a suitable calibrated container.
D. With the isolator switch in the ON position but the engine not running, use a suitable multimeter to measure the input voltage to the EFLP. Record the reading.
E. With the isolator switch in the ON position but the engine not running, measure the fuel flow from the temporary drain line.
F. Refer to Illustration 11 through 14 for the minimum acceptable flow rate.
G. Remove the temporary drain line from the drain port on the TPIR. Connect the TPIR return line to the TPIR.
TPIR flow rate
Result: The fuel flow is greater than the minimum limit.
Proceed to Test Step 13.
Result: The fuel flow is less than the minimum limit.
Proceed to Test Step 12.
12. Transfer Pump Inlet Regulator (TPIR) Return Test
A. Make sure that the TPIR return line is not blocked or kinked.
B. Check that the Electric Fuel Lift Pump (EFLP) is operating correctly.
TPIR return line
Result: The TPIR return line is blocked or kinked.
Repair: Clear the TPIR return line or replace the line
Confirm that the fault is eliminated.
Result: The EFLP is not operating correctly.
Repair: Refer to Troubleshooting, "Fuel Transfer Pump - Test".
Result: The TPIR return line and the EFLP are OK.
Proceed to Test Step 13.

13. EFLP Flow Test at the Primary Fuel Filter Inlet
A. Make sure the keyswitch is in the OFF position.
B. Disconnect the fuel inlet connection from the primary fuel filter head.
C. Install a suitable blank on the fuel inlet port on the primary fuel filter head.
D. Place the open end of the fuel inlet line in a suitable calibrated container.
E. With the keyswitch in the ON position, measure the input voltage at the EFLP. Record the result.
F. With the keyswitch in the ON position, measure the flow from the fuel inlet line. Record the result.
G. Check the recorded voltage and fuel flow on the graph in Illustration 15 or 16.
EFLP flow
Result: The fuel flow is below the minimum value for the recorded
