Rules for cleanliness
When working on the fuel supply/injection system, observe the following basic rules:
t  Thoroughly clean all joints and connections and the surrounding areas before dismantling.
t  Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover. Use only lint-free cloths.
t  If repairs cannot be carried out immediately, carefully cover or seal open components.
t  Install only clean parts: only remove replacement parts from packaging immediately prior to installation. Do not use any parts which have not been stored in their packaging (e.g. in a tool box).
t  When the system is open: Do not work with compressed air. The vehicle should not be moved.
t  Also ensure that no diesel fuel comes into contact with the coolant hoses. Should this occur, the hoses must be cleaned immediately. Damaged hoses must be renewed.
