Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair

components.
After relieving system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when servicing fuel lines or connections. In order to reduce the
chance of personal injury, cover fuel line fittings with a shop towel before disconnecting, to catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the
towel in an approved container when disconnect is completed.
