3.3 INSPECTING INJECTOR OPERATION

}

Fuel or test fluid discharged by an 

injector may penetrate the skin, 

seriously harming your health. Make 

sure the fuel jet is discharged into a 

suitable container.

Evaluating the injector's spray pattern, spray 

angle, and sound is practically impossible. New 

injectors or injectors that have been in use for 

some time cannot be tested in this way.

1.

Place the injector on an injector tester.

2.

First allow the injector to inject a number of 

times.

3.

Inspect the injector for:

-

opening pressure

-

leakage

-

injector nozzles.

Opening pressure
1.

Inspect the discharge pressure by slowly 

building up the pressure inside the injector.

Leakage
1.

Dry the nozzle immediately after the final 

injection.

2.

Increase the pressure to the opening 

pressure minus 20 bar. Within approx. 10 

seconds, fuel must have ceased to leak from 

the nozzle. A moist nozzle is permitted. If the 

injector does not pass the oil leakage test, it 

must be replaced.

Injector nozzles
1.

Quickly build up pressure in the injector and 

check whether all the nozzles are fully open.

2.

Clean the injector if possible. See 

"Cleaning".

3.4 INSPECTING FUEL SYSTEM FOR LEAKAGE

}

To prevent deformation of the fuel 

tank, the delivery pressure in the fuel 

tank must not exceed 0.4 bar.

1.

Fit a pressure reducer valve connection on a 

tank cap (without bleeder) and connect the 

tank cap to the fuel tank.

2.

Dry the inspection points.

3.

Pressurise the fuel tank (maximum 0.2 bar).

4.

Unscrew the union nut (A) a few turns to 

check whether there is leakage in the non-

return valve. If there is leakage, the banjo 

bolt should be replaced.

5.

Check the whole fuel system (low-pressure 

section) for leaks.

6.

De-pressurise the system and replace the 

banjo bolt with integrated non-return valve 

on the rear of the filter housing with a normal 

banjo bolt.

7.

Remove the valve covers.

8.

Re-pressurise the system (maximum 

0.2 bar).

9.

Check the permeable seal and the side-

connection of the injectors for leaks.

Note:

Engine oil may be used to detect leaks at the 

O-ring.

10. Fit the valve covers.

11. Replace the normal banjo bolt with a banjo 

bolt with integrated non-return valve.

3.5 BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM

}

While bleeding the fuel system, fuel 

will escape. Collect the fuel to avoid 

the risk of fire.

}

Dirt in the fuel system can lead to 

significant damage to pump units 

and housing.

Note:

The fuel system has to be bled if it has been 

opened; this can be done in two ways.

-

With the fuel lift pump

-

By pressurising the fuel tank

Bleeding using the fuel lift pump
1.

Loosen the union nut on the injector.

2.

Pump fuel out of the injector pipe with the 

primer pump until no more air bubbles are 

visible in the fuel.

3.

Tighten the union nut to the specified torque, 

see "Technical data".

4.

Repeat points 1, 2 and 3 for the other 

injectors.
