Clean Working Conditions

Even minor contamination can lead to malfunctions in the fuel injection system. Therefore when working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following rules of cleanliness:

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 removed parts on a clean surface and cover them. Use lint-free cloths.

Only install clean components: Remove the replacement parts from their packaging just prior to installing them. Do not use parts that have been stored unpacked (for example in tool boxes etc.).

Carefully cover or plug unpacked components if repairs cannot be performed immediately.

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