Peugeot Satelis - Service manual > Procedure for reducing the fuel circuit pressure

Procedure 10.

• Remove the battery bracket. See: Procedure 9.
• Disconnect the fuel injector.
• Remove the fuel injector without disconnecting the supply hose.
• Connect the fuel injector power supply harness tool P/N 756017 to the fuel injector and the battery.
• Place the injector above a pan.
• Actuate the contact switch of the tool 3 times for 5 seconds while respecting a released time of 5 seconds between each action, in order to drop the pressure inside the supply hose of the fuel manifold.

The pressurised jet of fuel may be dangerous for the skin, do not expose the hands to the jet of fuel when opening the injector.

Checking fuel pressure

• Carry out the procedure for lowering the pressure in the fuel system. See: Gamme 10.
• Disconnect the fuel supply hose.
• Insert the pressure gauge P/N 757877 between the gauge well and the supply hose
• Always use hose clamps that are in good condition.
• Turn the ignition on 3 times to bleed the fuel system.
• With the engine stopped, check the fuel pressure which must be 2.5 bars when switching on the fuel pump.

Before disconnecting the pressure gauges, lower the fuel pressure in the fuel system.

Always reinstall the hoses with new hose clamps.

Removal of the fuel pump

• Carry out the procedure for lowering the pressure in the fuel system. See: Procedure 10.
• Disconnect the fuel pump. (1)
• Disconnect the fuel pipe by pressing against the ring (A) to remove the quick disconnect coupler (2).

• Loosen by hand the pump locking ring. (3)
• Remove the fuel pump.

Removal of the fuel gauge.

• Remove the tank cover panel. See: Procedure 5.
• Disconnect the fuel gauge.
• Using tool P/N 756715, remove the fuel gauge.

Removal of the throttle box

• Remove the battery bracket. See: Procedure 9.
• Remove the LH footboard. See: Procedure 6.
• Remove the screw that secures the wiring harness clamp and the fuel hose anchor bracket. (A)
• Disconnect:
  • The throttle box.
  • The temperature sensor.
  • The fuel injector.
  • The lambda sensor.

• Remove the inlet coupling 3 fixing bolts. (5)

• Remove the 3 screws that secure the throttle box. (6)
• Disconnect the throttle control cables. (7)
