Safety
DANGER
Lethal or heavy injury due to flammable fluids under high pressure
When the engine is running, the fuel lines are under a constant pressure of up to
2000 bar (29,007.40 psi).
Fuel escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin and lead to severe injuries, vaporize and
explode when an ignition source is present.
u Never release the screws on the fuel circuit, especially between the high pressure pump and
the injector when the engine is running.
u Before starting any task on the fuel system, ensure the build-up pressure in the circuit has been
released, and the temperature of the engine has cooled down.
u Keep the engine away from heat, sparks, open flame, or any other ignition source.
