Rules of cleanliness

CAUTION!

Whenever carrying out any work on the fuel supply or fuel injection systems, always observe the following rules of cleanliness

1. Thoroughly clean fuel system line and hose connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.

2. Place removed components on a clean surface and cover. Use plastic sheeting or paper. Do not use fluffy rags that could leave lint!

3. Carefully cover over or seal any components that have been opened if repairs are not carried out immediately.

4. Install only clean parts:
- Do not remove replacement parts from the packaging until immediately before they are to be installed.
- Do not use parts that have been stored without packaging (e.g. in toolboxes, etc.).

5. When the fuel system is opened:
- Avoid working with compressed air whenever possible.
- Avoid moving the vehicle if possible.
