Spray Pattern Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 GMC Forward Control and 1998 Chevrolet Forward Control. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The injector nozzles used with this system have several features that make pattern testing difficult. These features include longer nozzle overlap, greater pintle-to-body clearances and an internal wave washer between injector nozzle nut and injector. Typical injector nozzle tester cannot deliver fuel with sufficient velocity to obtain proper spray patterns. DO NOT replace injector nozzle(s) based on spray pattern.
