If The Engine Was Started After Incorrect Or Contaminated Fuel Was Used During Refueling

If the fuel system has been contaminated with (gasoline, water, etc.) and the engine WAS STARTED, the following procedure must be followed:

1. Remove all fuel from the fuel tank, perform the fuel tank draining procedure. See Fuel System/Fuel Delivery - Standard Procedure . Use an OSHA approved properly marked fuel container. Dispose of the contaminated fuel using the proper procedures.

5. Install the fuel tank. See Fuel System/Fuel Delivery/TANK, Fuel - Installation .
6. Fill the fuel tank with clean diesel fuel.
7. Detach the low pressure line at the T-Fitting orifice between the fuel injector low pressure return lines and the fuel filter.
8. Connect a clean hose to the T-Fitting orifice, and place the other end in a suitable clean container.
9. Turn the ignition ON and collect a fuel sample from the T-Fitting orifice.
10. Inspect the fuel sample for metal chips, dirt, or other foreign matter.
11. If any dirt, metal chips or other foreign matter are present in the fuel sample, completely clean the high pressure side of the fuel injection system and replace the fuel injectors and high pressure fuel pump.
