Rules for cleanliness
When working on the fuel supply and injection systems, pay careful attention to the following “6 rules” for cleanliness:
t  Thoroughly clean all unions and adjacent areas before disconnecting.
t  Place removed parts on a clean surface and cover. Do not use fluffy cloths!
t  Carefully cover opened components or seal if repairs cannot be carried out immediately.
t  Install clean components only: do not remove replacement parts from packing until immediately before installing. Do not use parts that have not been stored in their packing (e.g. in tool boxes etc.).
t  When system is open: do not work with compressed air if this can be avoided. Do not move vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
t  Also ensure that no diesel fuel comes into contact with the coolant hoses. If necessary, the hoses must be cleaned immediately. Damaged hoses must be renewed.
