Separator Operation Test

~1min read
WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be explosive under certain conditions. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is well-ventilated and free from any source of flame or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot light.

Separator Operation Test

  • Connect the hoses to the separator, and install the separator on the motorcycle.
  • Disconnect the breather hose from the separator, and inject about 20 mL (0.68 US oz.) of gasoline [A] into the separator [B] through the hose fitting.
  • Disconnect the fuel return hose [C] from the fuel tank [D].
  • Run the open end of the return hose into the container and hold it level with the tank top [E].
  • Start the engine, and let it idle.

If the gasoline in the separator comes out of the hose, the separator works well. If it does not, replace the separator with a new one.
