Hazard

In the fuel system, some high-pressure fuel pumps have improper design, resulting in insufficient sealing between the pump housing and fuel pressure regulator valve. Consequently, when fuel pressure inside the pump is high during high-speed driving and similar conditions, fuel may leak from the fuel pressure regulator valve mounting area.
