B61



Check that the return line is not blocked
Turn off the ignition.

Unscrew the fuel tank cap to release any overpressure in the tank.

Disconnect the return line from the control pressure regulator. On 1978- models disconnect the line at the fuel distributor as well.

Blow through the line.

Blocked line: clean, replace if necessary.

Clear line: check that the screw holes are not blocked. If OK, test with a new control pressure regulator.

Note! On 1978- models, the fault may also be due to a blocked line pressure regulator in the fuel distributor.
