Removal
CAUTION: Do not carry or use a cell phone when working with any fuel-related parts or in the immediate vicinity of such parts. The air contains highly flammable fuel vapors that can ignite. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to repair the fuel injection system while the engine is running. Fuel pressure in the system can reach 1650 bar. (23,931 psi). Failure to follow this instruction may result in injury.
CAUTION: Do not smoke or carry a lighted cigarette or open flame of any type when working on or near fuel-related parts. There is a risk of ignition of flammable vapors. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: This procedure involves contact with fuel. Always be prepared for possible fuel splashing and practice safe fuel handling. Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Wait at least 30 seconds after stopping the engine before attempting any repairs to the high pressure fuel injection system. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Before disconnecting or disassembling parts, make sure that the area around the contact surfaces and connections is clean. To avoid contamination of the system, close all open connections with plugs.
CAUTION: Diesel fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and with very small clearances. Therefore, it is especially important to maintain absolute cleanliness when working with these components. Open holes or lines must be plugged. Failure to follow this instruction may result in dirt entering the fuel injection system.
CAUTION: Make sure that the area of the workshop where the vehicle is being worked on is thoroughly cleaned and free of dust. Dirt and dust from clutch, brake, machining or welding work can contaminate the fuel system and cause problems later.
