Fuel system Fuel system Cleanliness requirements IMPORTANT! The whole fuel system is very sensitive to dirt and also very small particles. Foreign particles in the system can cause serious malfunctions. It is therefore very important that everything is as clean as possible when work is carried out on the fuel system. Wash the engine before carrying out repair work. If possible, a hot wash should be used. It is strictly forbidden to carry out any machining work or work with compressed air near an open fuel system. Be extra careful and always use clean, lint-free and dust-free clothes and disposable gloves when working on the fuel system. Scania recom- mends use of Tegera 848 gloves.
Clean tools before they are used and do not use any worn or chrome-plated tools. Material and flakes of chrome may come off. Clean connections and the surrounding area be- fore removal. When cleaning, cloths or paper which shed fibres must not be used. Use clean and lint free cloths, part number 588 879. Plug or cover the connections during removal. Also clean the connections before the compo- nents are fitted. Place removed components on a thoroughly cleaned, dust-free surface. Scania recommends using a stainless steel bench top, part number 2 403 296. Cover the components with a lint-free cloth. 00:23-02 en-GB 35 © Scania CV AB 2016, Sweden
