ABSTRACT:
A system and method for testing the operation of fuel pump is disclosed. The apparatus includes a pressure measurement portion, a flow measurement portion, an electrical diagnostic portion, and a fault simulation portion, where a user can simulate a number of potential fuel system failures to determine the diagnostics of the fuel system. The method includes the steps of measuring an electrical value related to the fuel pump, measuring a pressure related to the fuel pump, measuring a fuel flow related to the fuel pump, simulating a fuel system failure condition, and determining an operating status of the fuel pump.
