1. WARNING:
-
Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component.
Highly flammable mixtures are always present and can be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
-
Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when the engine is not running. Before servicing or disconnecting any of the
fuel lines or fuel system components, the fuel system pressure must be relieved to prevent accidental spraying of fuel, causing personal
injury or a fire hazard.
-
Do not carry personal electronic devices such as a cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any
fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and can be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury.

This procedure involves fuel handling. Be prepared for fuel spillage at all times and always observe fuel handling precautions. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
-
If the liquid or vapor tube is damaged (torn, holes or delaminated), a new tube assembly must be installed. Do not use aftermarket
sleeving. Do not re-adhere loose sleeving material.
-
When reusing liquid or vapor tube connectors, make sure to use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector
retaining clip area before separating from the tube. Apply clean engine oil to the end of the tube before inserting the tube into the
connector.
-
Fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very precise tolerances and fine clearances. It is, therefore, essential that absolute
cleanliness is observed when working with these components. Always install blanking plugs to any open orifices or tubes.
-
Do not use any tools. The use of tools may cause a deformity in the clip components which may cause fuel leaks.
If servicing a liquid fuel tube, release the fuel system pressure.
