3.2 ml triton valve lash

Any work on a common rail diesel should be done with the knowledge, the high pressure if still present in the rail, can cause life threatening velocity diesel spray when a union is undone/loosened. If any spray happens and it hits you it most likely will enter the blood stream causing blood poisoning, irreversible. Death is always later. 20,000psi cuts flesh rather well. 2000psi of a conventional diesel kills if it hits you.

With suitable precautions the system can be undone safely and repairs and adjustments made.

The integrity of the replaced connections is very important to ensure no leaks or the High pressure diesel. Never crack any injector line if running or shortly after running.

The injectors are electronic and system pressure will quickly force air out when the high pressure pump begins to supply.

This is only general info. You need to determine specific safety procedures before doing the work.

There's also a common problem with the fuel pipes from the rail to the injectors. They can leak and pump fuel into the sump. Can lead to the engine running away and destroying itself. Worth talking to a mechanic at least.

Why not just add some of that fuel additive that cleans the fuel system, I have used it ever since I got my Troopy WITH 106,000 on the clock , it now shows 781,000 and the engine has not been looked at.

azzman : I have just removed my fuel lines , did not have any such problems as mentioned , when it comes to restart / bleeding these motors are dead easy , just pump the plunger at the fuel filter till it goes hard , you don't need to undo anything except maybe the bleeder on the filter housing but that's more for the filter change , kick it in the guts .... :-) PS the fuel line can only be remove a number ??? of times .
As for the high pressure, didn't know about this, had no problem , read & asked a lot on newtriton forum ???? , so you could have a look there too or the pajero forum.
Cleaning out the carbon by removing the manifold i think would be best option , i gave the spray a go :-( So this is what i did ..... good luck with yours .... cheers
