Fuel System Analyser - Emi-Tech

Fuel pressure testers are a dime a dozen in our business. Fuel volume testers come in many different configurations. There are a number of different visual/chemical fuel analysis kits around. But have you ever heard of a device that can do all three tests with one in-line hookup to a fuel line? Neither did we, until Emi-Tech informed us of its beautifully executed tester kit.

The Fuel System Analyser (FSA Model 428) comes with a pressure/vacuum gauge that measures in in. -Hg/psi and -kPa/kPa and a flow gauge that measures in gallons per minute and litres per minute (no more coffee cup testing). The flow meter also allows you to see the fuel during testing and actual operating conditions to pick up contamination problems. Included with the tester are a full assortment of adaptors and two locking pinch pliers.

The flow gauge includes brackets for attaching additional gauges. A screw-in adaptor can even be used to check exhaust backpressure at an oxygen sensor mount. The main unit can be hung underhood on a swivelling hook. A very comprehensive operation manual describes more than you'd ever need to know about testing fuel systems.

NOTE : Emi Tech is the American distributor for the CODA Fuel System Analyser which is designed and manufactured entirely in Australia by Coda Products.
