Default How to meassure fuel pressure

Hello,

I need to measure the fuel pressure on my Mk1 Focus 1.6 Zetec se.

All that is on the fuel rail is feed and return, any suggestions?


Ive got an issue with the car and I suspect it could be due to weak fuel pump so need to confirm.

Bill

Put a pressure gauge between the filter and the regulator, on the high pressure side. Turn key to prime, and read gauge.

I wrote a looooong article about this:
