Contact with high pressure fuel may cause fluid penetration and burn hazards. High pressure fuel spray may cause a fire hazard. Failure to follow these inspection, maintenance and service instructions may cause personal injury or death.
The high-pressure fuel lines are the fuel lines that are between the high-pressure fuel pump and the high-pressure fuel manifold. High-pressure fuel lines are also located between the fuel manifold and cylinder head. These fuel lines are different from fuel lines on other fuel systems.High-pressure fuel lines differ from other fuel lines in the following manners:
The high-pressure fuel lines are constantly charged with high pressure.
The internal pressures of the high-pressure fuel lines are higher than other types of fuel system.Before any service or repair is performed on the engine fuel lines, perform the following tasks:
Stop the engine.
Wait for 10 minutes.Do not loosen the high-pressure fuel lines to remove air pressure from the fuel system.Engine Oil
