•
For correct reinstallation of fuel lines / vacuum
lines attach tag describing the correct
positions
•
Make sure only the branded lubricants,
coolant, corrosion protection coatings and
sealants are used.
•
Check all the lines for leaks related to the
systems like fuel, oil, coolant, vacuum,
exhaust and brakes after servicing.
•
For vehicles equipped with high pressure fuel
injection systems do not disconnect the fuel
line between the injector and the fuel pump
without releasing the fuel pressure, fuel can
be sprayed out under pressure.
Precaution for Catalytic Converter (Petrol
Engine):
Caution:
If large amount of unburnt fuel goes into
the converter, it may overheat and create a FIRE
hazard.
To prevent this, observe the following precautions:
•
Use only unleaded gasoline.
•
Engine compression checks should be carried
out within the shortest possible time.
•
If necessary then only conduct a spark jump
test within the shortest possible time.
•
Do not run the engine when the fuel tank is
nearly empty to avoid engine misfire and
damage to catalytic converter.
Precaution for Catalytic Converter (Diesel
Engine):
•
The Catalytic converter should not be
dropped from a height. If dropped, it should
not be used.
•
Ensure exhaust system and catalytic
converters are not blocked and free from
obstruction.
•
Avoid parking of vehicle over inflammable
materials, such as dry leaves; grass etc. as
exhaust system is hot enough to initiate fire.
•
Avoid push start or tow-starting the vehicle.
(Use jump leads)
•
Avoid long (not more than 10 seconds) repeat
(not more than 3 times) starting of the vehicle.
Investigate the cause for difficulty in starting
and rectify the same.
•
Avoid long idling (to warm-up) if the engine is
running rough, after a cold start.
•
Avoid switching “OFF” the ignition when
driving down the hill.
•
Avoid fuel almost empty in the tank.
•
Avoid pre- coating / painting of Catalytic
Converter.
