Fuel Injection System






Clean Working Conditions

Even a little contamination can lead to faults. When working on the fuel supply and fuel injection system, observe the following guidelines for a clean working environment:

Before loosening, connections and surrounding areas must be cleaned thoroughly with engine or brake cleaner, and then cleaned area must be dried completely.

Plug open lines and connections immediately with appropriate protective caps.

Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them. Use lint-free cloths.

Carefully cover over opened components or seal, if repairs are not performed immediately.

Install only clean parts: remove the replacement parts from their packaging just before installing them. Do not use parts that have been stored unpacked (for example in tool boxes etc.).

When the system is open: do not work with compressed air. Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

Protect disconnected electrical connectors from dirt and moisture and only connect if dry.
