Abstract:
A method for providing a fuel line gasket to an electromotive diesel fuel injector wherein the electromotive diesel fuel injector includes a nut defining a nut fuel line passageway that is in fluid communication with a fuel line having a fuel line passageway, the fuel line having a fuel line surface and the nut having a nut surface, said fuel line surface and said nut surface sealing by contacting each other, and wherein the fuel line gasket includes a body having two opposite interface surfaces with a hole defined within the interface surfaces, at least a portion of said body adapted to be positioned between the fuel line surface and the nut fuel surface, said method comprising the steps of:a) moving the nut away from the fuel line;b) positioning the gasket between the fuel line surface and the nut surface so that the opposites interface surfaces contact the fuel line surface and the nut surface, respectively; andc) compressing the gasket between the fuel line surface and the nut surface so that the interface surfaces contact respective ones of the fuel line surface and the nut surface and a liquid seal is formed there between so that fuel can pass through the fuel line passageway, the nut fuel line passageway and the hole defined in the body.
