    RD28T - disconnecting the fuel injector pump

    G'day boys.

    Just want to find out if I can disconnect the fuel lines to and from the injector pump on an RD28T (mechanical pump) without purging the system (thats another question in itself)

    I have been reading the manual (Gregory's No 512) and it does not mention anything about fuel line preasure.

    Am I going to have any issues if I just start following their instructions on disconnecting all connections?

    Cheers,

    Rob

    No you wont have any issues mate there wont be any pressure in the fuel lines when the engine is shut down.
