FUEL DELIVERY - 2.8L DIESEL 

WARNING 

HIGH FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE 

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING 

FUEL SUPPLY RESTRICTIONS 

LOW-PRESSURE LINES 

Fuel supply line restrictions or a restricted fuel filter can cause starting problems and prevent engine from 
accelerating. The starting problems include; no start, longer cranking times, low power and/or white fog like 
exhaust. 

Inspect all fuel supply lines for restrictions or blockage, including the fuel filter. Flush or replace as necessary. 

HIGH-PRESSURE LINES 

Restricted (kinked or bent) high-pressure lines can cause starting problems, poor engine performance, engine 
mis-fire and white smoke from exhaust. 

TESTING FUEL INJECTORS 

WARNING:

High-pressure fuel lines deliver fuel under extreme pressure from the 
injection pump to the injectors. This may be as high as 1600bar 
(23,200psi). 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 high-pressure fuel leaks with a sheet of 
cardboard. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing when 
servicing fuel system.

CAUTION: High-pressure lines cannot contact each other or other components. Do 

not attempt to weld high-pressure fuel lines or to repair lines that are 
damaged. High-pressure lines can be reused only after close inspection 
for cracks or deformation around the sealing cone. Corroded pipes must 
be replaced. Use only recommended lines when replacement of high-
pressure fuel line is necessary.

NOTE:

High-pressure fuel lines must be replaced at each disassembly.
