WARNING: High-pressure fuel lines deliver diesel fuel under extreme pressure from the injection pump to the fuel injectors. This may be as
high as 180,000 kpa (26,107 psi). Use extreme caution when inspecting for high-pressure fuel leaks. Inspect for high-pressure fuel leaks with a
sheet of cardboard. High fuel injection pressure can cause personal injury if contact is made with the skin.
