WARNING:
The fuel system (fuel pump, high pressure fuel lines, fuel rail, injectors) contains very high pressure fuel. To avoid the risk of personal injury or fire:
- Do not loosen any fittings while the engine is running.
- Wait at least 10 minutes after shutting down the engine before loosening any fittings in the high-pressure fuel system to allow pressure to decrease to a lower level.
- Wear appropriate eye protection and protective equipment as high-pressure fuel spray can penetrate skin.
- Never smoke or allow sparks or flames (such as pilot lights, electrical switches, or welding equipment) in the work area. Never allow diesel fuel to spill onto a hot exhaust manifold which can cause a fire.

When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spilling.
