The whole fuel system is very sensitive to dirt
and even 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. Before repair work, the engine must
be washed. If possible, a hot water 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 gloves when working
on the fuel system. Scania recommends using
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.
Checking fuel level
Check the fuel level and top up with fuel as nec-
essary.
