- Place the Fuel Pump on the Table: Set the fuel pump on a flat surface with the diamond shape facing away from you.
- Pointed End Down: Confirm that the pointed end of the diamond
- Valve Position: Observe the position of the valve/bolt on the fuel pump
Determine the Orientation:
- If the valve/bolt is on the right side of the , then it’s a right-hand (RH) pump.
