Check engine pressure loss

Warning:   When working on the Common Rail system, wait for one minute after switching off the engine. The system reduces the pressure automatically.

Important:   When working on the fuel system, cleanliness is vital as even very small particles of dirt can lead to faults in engine operation or in the fuel system. Seal open fuel connections with suitable sealing plugs 1) . Sealing plugs must only be used once.
