Answer:

Check in the following order:

  • set the fuel control handle on the full supply
  • disconnect the discharge pipe from the pump
  • flush and removing the air from the pump
  • connect a pressure gauge or maximeter with a swivel head
  • turn the engine several times with a turning gear and record the maximum pressure on the pressure gauge (maximeter)

Recorded values to be used as the conditional indicator of the pump tightness.
