Connector tabs 

• 

Exercise care that the injector connector tab is not damaged during 
installation.  If the tab becomes damaged, the electrical connector may 
disconnect in the future causing a customer complaint for engine 
misfire. 

Cushion Seal 

Special procedures for cushion seal design injector: 

• 

Verify seals at injector outlet and inlet as well as seal ring at inlet are 
undamaged and properly located on the injector (see Figure 3-3) 

• 

Use replacement seals as specified in parts listing for the application.  
Do not substitute with any other seal ring. 

• 

Fuel rail assembly must be installed with proper fasteners to proper 
torque in order to maintain fuel seal.

Component Assembly Best Practices 

Component Assembly Best Practice worksheets are included in the 
appendix (section 10.4.)  These worksheets should be completed during a 
walk through of the current (or proposed) fuel system assembly to engine 
and vehicle assembly processes.  A thorough evaluation of the customer 
processes at both the engine and vehicle assembly plants where the 
injector is used should occur as early as possible in the program to provide
