2 Introduction
DPT701 is a useful tool to measure fuel pressure and engine compression. It can be used to
measure pressure up to 80 bar(1160PSI) for any gas and noncorrosive liquid.
With the tester properly connected to the sensor and powered on, you can use the tester to
measure fuel pressure and engine compression; to check the battery, the sensor and the
microprocessor automatically; and transfer data to computer for close check and printing with
wireless module.

4.2.6 Common Rail Test – Low Pressure Circuit
This section illustrates how to test low pressure circuit with FOXWELL DPT701, the largest number of
failures are produced in the low pressure circuit.
4.2.6.1 About The Common Rail System
What is the Common Rail System?
The common rail system refers to the fact that all of the fuel injectors are supplied by a common
fuel rail which is nothing more than a pressure accumulator where the fuel is stored at high
pressure. It is one of the most advanced diesel fuel injection systems.
One of the great advantages of this new system lies in the fact that the nozzles are controlled
electronically; so an electronic unit decides what the exact amount of fuel needed by the engine
is and sends an electrical signal to the injectors to open the nozzle. At that time the fuel pressure
in the common rail passes through the nozzles and goes into the cylinders. The name common
rail comes from the fact that the injectors are all connected to a common rail.
The injection system is divided into two distinct parts: the low pressure circuit and the high
pressure circuit.
The low pressure circuit is responsible for getting fuel to the high pressure pump in optimal
conditions of pressure, filtering etc.
The Structure of the Common Rail Systems
The low pressure circuit consists essentially of: fuel tank, fuel pump, filter, pressure regulator and
pipes.
Figure 4-22 Sample Common Rail System Structure
4.2.6.2 To perform low pressure circuit test
Checking the low pressure circuit is relatively easy, by checking the fuel pressure at certain points of
the system. To perform low side common rail, you need the following adaptors
16
DPT701 Digital Pressure Tester User’s Guide_English Version_V2.00
Figure 4-23 Sample Common Rail Adaptors
The “Low side common rail” test is a three step test. Scroll up and down arrow keys to select Low side
common rail from the option menu and press OK key to confirm. When this option is selected, a
message will show the test number and a brief description of the test to be performed.
Figure 4-24 Sample Select An Option Menu Screen
Step 1
Pressure at high pressure pump input
After pressing the OK key, the following test screen displays. Press OK key to continue the test or press
BACK key to return to previous menu.
Figure 4-25 Sample Low Pressure Circuit Test Step 1 Screen
NOTE
The normal pressure value of test #1 is 2.5 Bar. Press OK key to go to next step if it shows 2.5
Bar or extremely lower than the correct pressure value. If it shows significantly higher pressure, it
indicates a fault exists in the regulator.
Step 2 Pressure between the low pressure pump and fuel filter
17
DPT701 Digital Pressure Tester User’s Guide_English Version_V2.00
After step 1, please press the OK key, and the following test screen displays. Press OK key to continue
the test or press BACK key to return to previous menu.
Figure 4-26 Sample Low Pressure Circuit Test Step 2 Screen
NOTE
The normal pressure value of Test #2 is 2.5 bar, if it’s normal, then press OK key to go to test #3.
If it’s significantly higher pressure, provided test #1 is correct, it indicates dirty filter . Please
replace the filter cartridge. If the pressure is significantly lower and test #1 is also significantly
lower, then please turn off tap and check: if the pressure is still 2.5 bar or higher, it indicates
faulty regulator; if the pressure is too low, it indicates faulty low pressure pump.
Step 3 Pressure of the return circuit
After step 2, please press the OK key, and the following test screen displays. Press OK key to continue
the test or press BACK key to return to previous menu.
Figure 4-27 Sample Low Pressure Circuit Test Step 3 Screen
NOTE
The normal pressure value of Test #3 is 0.7 to 0.8 bar. If it’s normal, the whole test finished
successfully. If it’s significantly higher pressure, it indicates return tube is obstructed. Once
replaced, if pressure remains high, return valve of high pressure pump is faulty. If it’s significantly
lower pressure, it indicates the return valve of high pressure pump is faulty.
