Okay folks,

1999 E300 Turbodiesel, 146,000 miles, new plastic fuel lines, new S/O valve, new fuel o-rings, new (well sealed) prefilter w/o-ring, etc. etc. No air leaks, but I haven't done the D/V seals.

I've finally ordered all the pieces and parts to swap out my injectors with new ones to see if that fixes my mild throttle flutter/stutter problem. I suspect that when I removed the valve cover (disconnection of fuel injection hard lines required) that I may have introduced some dust into the lines.

My question is this: Since I live in the dusty desert, I've waited 'till the winter to do anything about this. How should I go about dust removal from the lines and associated pieces so that I do not contaminate the new injectors? I've thought that using a box of Swiffers to remove most of the surface dust and then something like silicon spray to flush the dust off the lines before removal and again before assembly would be the best way.

Any other suggestions.

Oh, and if this doesn't fix it, I will replace the D/V seals (not seeping any fue yet) next.

It's a car not a science experiment! Open the throttle!
