High Pressure Fuel Pipe Removal Note

CAUTION:

• When removing the high pressure fuel pipe, the end of the high pressure fuel pipe may be damaged because the clearance between the high pressure fuel pump and the high pressure fuel pipe is small. Be very careful when handling the end of the high pressure fuel pipe so as not to damage it.

• If the high pressure fuel pump is removed with the high pressure fuel pipe installed, the high pressure fuel pipe and fuel distributor may be damaged because of the excessive force caused by the spring force of the high pressure fuel pump. The high pressure fuel pipe and fuel distributor must be replaced if they are damaged. Always remove the high pressure fuel pipe before removing the high pressure fuel pump.
