• After the engine has stopped, wait for 60 seconds
in order to allow the fuel pressure to be purged
from the high-pressure fuel lines before any
service or repair is performed on the engine 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. Refer to Disassembly and assembly
