Fuel Rail: Service and Repair
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
An eight digit identification number is stamped on the left hand fuel rail (fueling even cylinders 2,4,6). Refer to this number if servicing or part
replacement is required.
CAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury that may result from a fuel leak, always install the fuel injector O-rings in
the proper position. If the upper and lower O-rings are different colors (black and brown), be sure to install the black O-ring in the upper
position and the brown O-ring in the lower position on the fuel injector. The O-rings are the same size but are made of different materials.

fuel passages. It is recommended that the fittings be capped, and the holes be plugged during servicing.
