Silhouette V6-191 3.1L VIN D TBI (1995)
Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair
IMPORTANT: Before attempting any "On-Vehicle Service" place a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near work area.
WARNING:
-
To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, it is necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing fuel system components.
-
After relieving system pressure a small amount of fuel may be released when servicing fuel pipes or connections. In order to reduce the
chance of personal injury, cover fuel pipe 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.
1. Disconnect negative battery cable to avoid possible fuel discharge if an accidental attempt is made to start the engine.
2. Loosen fuel filler cap to relieve tank pressure. (Do not tighten until service has been completed.)
3. The internal constant bleed feature of TBI Model 220 relieves fuel pump system pressure when the engine is turned "OFF" Therefore, no further
action is required.
