Attention.
- 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.
- Disconnecting/connecting quick connectors without first cleaning them from the outside can cause damage to the fuel lines and quick connectors. Be sure to clean the quick connector area before disconnecting/connecting with a cloth or soft brush. Make sure there is no foreign material near the quick connector.
