Fuel Pressure Gage Installation and Removal
TOOLS REQUIREDJ 34730-1A Fuel Pressure Gage
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source is present. Never drain or store gasoline or diesel fuel in an open container, due to the possibility of fire or explosion. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
NOTE:
Clean all of the following areas before performing any disconnections in order to avoid possible contamination in the system:
