Abstract
A method that includes coupling an external, removable fuel pressurization system to a fuel system of a vehicle. The fuel system of the vehicle is pressurized with the fuel pressurization system while the vehicle is parked and without activating a fuel consumer (e.g., an engine) of the vehicle. Decay of pressure of the fuel system is monitored following pressurization of the fuel system, and one or more of a leak, or a replaceable component, of the fuel system of the vehicle is detected based on at least in part on the decay of pressure that are monitored.
