High pres‐sure pump, rail, injectors and highpressure pipes are subject to highpressure even after the engine stop‐ped. The fuel jet produced by fuelleaks may cause serious injury, if ittouch the body. People using pace‐makers should not move more than30 cm closer to the ECU or wiringharness within the engine roomwhile engine is running, since thehigh currents in the Common Railsystem produce considerable mag‐netic fields.
