FUEL SYSTEM CAUTIONS
- Do NOT smoke or work near an open flame when working on the fuel system.
- Keep gasoline away from rubber or leather parts.
- Do NOT allow fuel to spray when removing the pipe between the high pressure side fuel pump and the fuel injector. The fuel in the pipe is highly pressurized.
- Wear safety goggles while working with fuel system under pressure.
- Do NOT disconnect any part of the fuel system until you have discharged the fuel system pressure.
- Even after discharging the fuel pressure, place a shop rag over fittings as you separate them to reduce risk of fuel spray on yourself or in the engine compartment.
