# 3801898 Injector Exch | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta remanufactured injector for positions 1, 3 and 5, supplied as an exchange part, from the Fuel System group, weighing 0.964 kg and listed for 3 applications in the TAD series. It supersedes part number 3801802, catalogued earlier as a unit injector. Injector 3801897 covers positions 2, 4 and 6 and is over 300 grams heavier, so the two are not interchangeable. This unit is supplied on an exchange basis: core deposit 3804898 is charged alongside it and refunded once the old unit is returned, so both numbers appear on the order.
