testing LP?

Where can I take my 2002 HO to get its LP tested as a preventative measure? If I understand correctly, as long as the LP is functioning properly the VP-44 should last (at least a lot longer than normal)--Correct me if me if Im wrong. THanks for your input, Drew Stuart

Loosen the top of your fuel filter. Bump the starter and if fuel starts flowing out of it (approx. 15 sec. till it will turn off), then you know it is at least pumping. You need to get either a portable fuel pressure guage or one that mounts permanent.

Bump test only really shows that it was working at the time of the bump... mine for example is hit or miss as to when it will and won't pump. But i'm working on a replacement.

Best to install a Fuel Pressure gauge and watch that it stays above at least 8psi even as WOT.
