Fuel Meter Cover Assembly

The fuel meter cover and Fuel pressure control valve are serviced as a complete assembly only.

IMPORTANT:
- DO NOT remove the screws securing the Fuel pressure control valve to the fuel meter cover. The Fuel pressure control valve includes a spring under compression which, if released, could cause personal injury. Disassembly might also result in a fuel leak between the diaphragm and the regulator container.
