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

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

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