When working on the fuel supply/injection system, pay careful attention to the following "5 rules" :

Thoroughly clean all connections and the surrounding area before disconnecting.
Place parts that have been removed on a clean surface and cover them using lint free cloths.
Carefully cover or seal opened components, if repairs are not performed immediately.
Only install clean components: Only unpack replacement parts immediately prior to installation. Do not use parts that have been stored loose (for example, in a tool box, etc.).
When the system is open: Avoid working with compressed air if possible. Do not move the vehicle unless absolutely necessary.
