Right Fuel Rail
WARNING:
High pressure fuel lines deliver diesel fuel under extreme pressure from the injection pump to the fuel injectors. This may be as high as 1600 bar (23, 206 psi). Use extreme caution when inspecting for high pressure fuel leaks. Fuel under this amount of pressure can penetrate skin causing personal injury or death. Inspect for high pressure fuel leaks with a sheet of cardboard. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing when servicing fuel system. Make sure the area in which the vehicle is being serviced is in a well ventilated area and free of flames/sparks. Failure to comply may result in serious or fatal injury.
WARNING:
No sparks, open flames or smoking. Risk of poisoning from inhaling and swallowing fuel. Risk of injury to eyes and skin from contact with fuel. Pour fuels only into suitable and appropriately marked containers. Wear protective clothing.
CAUTION:
Inspect sealing cones at the lines. Replace as necessary. Ensure that all fuel pressure lines are exactly located in original position.
- Carefully position the fuel rail and hand tighten all of the high pressure fuel lines.
- Install the fuel rail fasteners and tighten to 14 N.m (123 in. lbs.).
- Tighten the high pressure line to the fuel rail to 27 N.m (20 ft. lbs.).
- Tighten the high pressure fuel rail transfer pipe to 27 N.m (20 ft. lbs.).
- Tighten the high pressure fuel lines at the fuel rail to 27 N.m (20 ft. lbs.).
- Tighten the high pressure fuel lines at the fuel injectors to 33 N.m (24 ft. lbs.).
- Connect the fuel rail pressure sensor.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Install the strut tower support.
- Install the engine cover. Refer to appropriate Engine SERVICE INFORMATION article.
- Start the engine, allow the engine to warm, turn the engine off and inspect for leaks.
