-
Fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and fine clearances. It is therefore essential that absolute
cleanliness is observed when working with these components. Always install blanking plugs to any open orifices or tubes.

When reusing liquid or vapor tube connectors, make sure to use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector
retaining clip area before separating from the tube.
