Connect fuel line adapter #6539(5/169) or #6631 (3/89) to the disconnected fuel supply
line. Insert the other end of the adapter into a graduated container.
Caution: Do not operate the fuel pump for more than 7 seconds in the next
step. Fuel pump module reservoir may run empty and damage to the fuel
pump may result.
Specification: A good fuel pump will deliver at least 1/4 liter of fuel in 7
seconds.
