SHUT-OFF TOOL
IMPORTANT: Check for contaminated fuel tank,
stuck anti-siphon valve or fuel system vacuum
leak anywhere before the electrical fuel pump
and after the fuel pressure regulator.
2. Restricting the fuel return line (Shut-Off Valve) al-
lows the fuel pressure to build above regulated
pressure. With battery voltage applied to the fuel
pump, pressure should rise to 60 PSI (414 kPa)
as the fuel return hose is shut off with special tool.
TEST DESCRIPTION:
NOTE: Do not allow fuel pressure to exceed 60 PSI
(414 kPa); damage to the pressure regulator may re-
sult.
Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the
diagnostic chart.
1.
Pressure less than 28 PSI (193 kPa) falls into two
areas:
3. This test determines if the high fuel pressure is
due to a restricted fuel return line or a pressure
regulator problem.
•
Regulated pressure less than 28 PSI (193 kPa).
The system will be running lean. Also, hard start-
ing when cold and overall poor performance will
be noticed.
•
Restricted flow causing pressure drop. Normally,
an engine with a fuel pressure of less than 24 PSI
(165
kPa) at idle will not be driveable. However,
if the pressure drop occurs only while underway,
the engine will surge then stop running as pres-
sure begins to drop rapidly. This is most likely
caused by a restricted fuel line or plugged water
separating fuel filter.

Marine readers have rated 1993 1997 Mercury-MerCruiser GM V8 454 CID 7.4L and 502 CID 8.2L Marine Engines Service Manual Number 16 4.5 out of 5.0 based on 4 product reviews. Hugely helpful service manual! Perfect. Thank you!
Manuals are all Important for Technician
This book is invaluable if you do your own repairs. Great book.
Could not find a copy until a search brought me here.
Excellent print.
Thank you
