SP Tools
Duramax Fuel Pressure
Release Wrench

The SP Tools Duramax Fuel Pressure
Release Wrench, No. 14400, is designed
to remove the fuel rail pressure release
valve sensor on 2011 and later Duramax
LML engines. According to the company,
technicians need only unbolt the AC
compressor and front EGR valve to access
the fuel pressure release valve, eliminating
the need to remove the EGR cooler and
fuel rail in the process.
Editor's Note: The two-piece wrench
design is intended to help remove fuel
rail pressure valve sensors in a little as
1.5 hours. A potential 8-hour time-save
is a big deal in the aftermarket.
