Attention.
- Fuel vapors are hazardous. They are highly flammable, causing serious injury and damage. Keep fuel away from sparks and open flames.
- Leaks in the fuel lines of a pressurized system are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause equipment damage, serious injury or even death. In addition, fuel can get on the skin and in the eyes of a person. To prevent this, it is imperative to perform a pressure relief procedure in the power system.
- A person carrying static electricity can cause a fire or explosion that could result in death or serious injury. Before working on the fuel system, you must remove the static charge from yourself by touching the car body.
Note. After the engine is stopped, the fuel in the fuel lines remains under control.
To prevent splashing and leakage of fuel from the fuel system, do the following:
- Remove the filler cap to release the pressure inside the fuel tank.
- Cover the fuel hose with a rag and disconnect it.
- Seal the hose after disconnecting.
