⚙️ Key Features

• Retainer from the Fuel System group
• 0.004 kg
• Listed for five TAD series engine applications

🔌 Function

Holds the fuel system component it serves in position so vibration cannot let it move or work loose.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Component found loose, shifted or out of position on inspection
• Retainer bent, distorted or missing
• Fretting or bright witness marks around the retained part
• Fuel weep at a connection that has been allowed to move

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit the retainer clean and dry unless the manual calls for lubricant, and make sure it is fully home in its groove or against its seat before the assembly is loaded
• Renew rather than reuse a retainer that has been removed — once a spring clip or ring has been spread it loses tension and can release in service
• Use the correct pliers or fitting tool; opening a retainer further than it needs to go, or prising it with a screwdriver, distorts it permanently
• Check the groove or landing face for wear, burrs and scoring, and dress or renew the mating part if the retainer will no longer seat squarely
• Where the retainer holds a rotating or spring-loaded part, confirm by hand that the assembly is captive and has the free movement the manual specifies before closing up
