Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are performed by authorized personnel that have had the correct training.After the engine has stopped, wait for 10 minutes to allow the fuel pressure to be purged from the high-pressure fuel lines. After 10 minutes any service or repair can be performed on the fuel lines. If necessary, perform minor adjustments. Repair any leaks from the low-pressure fuel system and from the cooling, lubrication, or air systems. Replace any high-pressure fuel line that has leaked.
