flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
-
Do not carry personal electronic devices such as 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 may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury.
-
When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot
vehicle components or other ignition sources. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
-
Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental
spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in serious personal injury.
-
When working on or near the evaporative emission (EVAP) system, disconnect the battery ground cable from the battery. The EVAP system
contains fuel vapor and condensed fuel vapor, so an electrical spark may cause a fire or explosion. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
-
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 or damage to the tube or connector retaining clip can occur. 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 essential that absolute cleanliness is
observed when working with these components or component damage can occur. Always install blanking plugs to any open orifices or
tubes.
NOTE: On some applications, the special tool shown in this procedure may not fit the spring lock coupling being disconnected. For those applications,
use a commercially available spring lock coupling disconnect tool.
1. Relieve the fuel pressure.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. If equipped, disconnect the safety clip from the fuel tube.
4. Install the special tool and push into the spring lock coupling.
