Fuel Delivery System
WARNING:
High-pressure fuel tubes deliver fuel under extreme pressure from the injection pump to the injectors. This maybe as high as 1800 bar (26, 106 psi). Use extreme caution when inspecting for high-pressure fuel leaks. Fuel under this amount of pressure can penetrate skin causing serious or fatal injury. Inspect high-pressure fuel leaks with a sheet of cardboard. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing when servicing fuel system.
