Cleaning rules
Cleaning rules
On carrying out work on the fuel supply/injection system, rigorously observe the following “6 rules” of cleaning:
t  Thoroughly clean the connections and their surroundings before releasing.
t  Lay the dismantled pieces on a clean surface and cover them. Do not use cloths with loose ends!
t  If repair work is not carried out immediately, the open components must be covered or stored carefully.
t  Only fit clean components: Take the spares out of their packaging just before assembly. Do not fit components that have been kept out of their packets (for instance, in the toolbox, etc.).
t  When the system is open: If possible, avoid the use of compressed air. If possible, do not move the vehicle.
t  Furthermore, it must be made sure that no diesel is spilt on the flexible coolant pipes. If necessary, clean the flexible pipes immediately. Flexible pipes that are affected must be replaced.
