Fuel Supply






Clean Working Conditions

When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following rules of cleanliness:

Thoroughly clean all connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.

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.

Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).

Transport and protective packaging and sealing caps are to be removed only immediately prior to installation.

When the system is open: Avoid working with compressed air if possible. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

In addition, do not let diesel fuel flow onto coolant hoses. If necessary, the hoses must be cleaned again immediately. Replace corroded hoses.
