Risk of explosion caused by fuel igniting. Risk of injury to skin and eyes caused by fuel jets or leakage. - AS07.16-Z-0001-01A

Keep all ignition sources out of hazard area. 

Do not carry out any work on systems when they are under pressure 

Potential risks 

Risk of explosion! 

When working on the fuel injection system (e.g. on injection nozzles, pressure lines, rail, high pressure pump etc.) when the engine is running, or within 30 s after switching the engine off, fuel may flow out at a high pressure. When opening the pressurized system, there is a risk of explosion due to very finely sprayed fuel coming into contact with an ignition source.

Risk of injury! 

Highly pressurized fuel may penetrate deep into the skin and destroy the tissue. Fuel can get into the blood circulation and cause blood poisoning.

Safety instructions/precautions 

• Keep sources of ignition such as sparks, cigarettes or open flames away from the fuel.
• Do not carry out any work on the system when it is pressurized.

First aid measures 

• Clean wound.
• If blood poisoning is suspected, bandage the part of the body affected, and consult a doctor.
